The effects of sex, Mets and exercise training (ET) on left ventricular gene expression at 10 months of age in sedentary and exercise-trained male and female standard diet-fed wild-type (SD/WT) and high-fat diet-fed APOB-100 transgenic (HFD/APOB-100) mice (n = 6 animals/group). For the female vs. male comparison, the relative expression of target genes in females was compared to the expression levels detected in males (results are given in percentage, where the male groups = 100%). For HFD/APOB vs. SD/WT comparisons, the relative expression of target genes in high-fat diet-fed APOB-100 transgenic animals was compared to the expression levels detected in standard diet-fed wild-type animals (results are given in percentage, where SD/WT groups = 100%). For the ET vs. SED comparison, the relative expression of target genes in exercise-trained animals was compared with the expression levels detected in the corresponding sedentary groups (results are given as a percentage, where the corresponding value for the sedentary groups = 100%)
