Bulk RNA sequencing of the Achilles tendon in rats with maternal high fat diet
The high fat diet (HFD) has been verified to cause detrimental effects on mechanical properties of tendon. A maternal HFD during pregnancy can increased tendon elasticity in offspring, and tendons from maternal HFD presented impaired biomechanical performance post injury. In this study, we used Bulk RNA sequencing to analyze the effects of maternal HFD on the gene expression characteristics of the Achilles tendon tissues of the rats offspring.
