Maternal overnutrition correlates with detrimental outcomes in offspring. However, the specific effects of gestational exposure to a high-fat diet (HFD) on fetal development remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the developmental phenotypes of neonatal organs and cardiomyocytes of mice exposed to gestational HFD, revealing growth retardation and a notable reduction in cardiomyocyte cell cycle activity.

However, monophyly of 2 subfamilies has not been well supported by molecular evidence. To date, only mitogenomes from genus Nemoura of the subfamily Nemourinae were used in previous phylogenetic studies and produced conflicting results with morphological studies.

Based on morphological data, the family-level phylogenetic relationships within Euholognatha are widely accepted, but there is still controversy among different molecular studies. To better understand the phylogeny of all six extant euholognathan families, we sequenced and analyzed seven euholognathan mitogenomes.

Plasmalemma vesicle associated protein (PLVAP) is commonly considered to be specifically expressed in endothelial cells in which it localized to diaphragms of caveolae, fenestrae, and transendothelial channels. PLVAP is reported to be an important regulator of heart development and a novel target to promote cardiac repair in the ischemic heart. However, the dynamics of plvap expression in heart development, homeostasis and pathology have not been comprehensively described.

With the establishment of two new genera, the phylogenetic relationships within Amphinemurinae should be re-examined. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of of the genus was firstly sequenced and analyzed.
