Comparison of mtDNA copy number for maternal lifestyle factors. A Comparison of female-newborn mothers’ mtDNA copy numbers based on engaging in FA supplementation (left) and their exercising or not (right). B Comparison of female newborns’ mtDNA copy numbers based on engaging in FA supplementation (left) and their exercising or not (right). C Comparison of male-newborn mothers’ mtDNA copy numbers based on their engaging in FA supplementation (left) and their exercising or not (right). D Comparison of male newborns’ mtDNA copy numbers based on their engaging in FA supplementation (left) and their exercising or not (right). Because four outcome measures were tested against two hypothesized predictors, a Bonferroni-adjusted significance level of 0.00625 (= 0.05/8) was calculated. *Statistically significant difference
