What it is
RNA-seq (gene expression)Gene activity measured by sequencing. The summary does not mention single-cell work, so this is most likely bulk: one average per sample, the usual starting point for comparing groups.
Organism
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
18 samples: 5 × Liver, NC/NC, vs 5 × Liver, NC/WD, vs 5 × Liver, Multigenerational WD without fibrosis, vs 3 × Liver, Multigenerational WD with fibrosis,Groups are read from the sample names, not from the paper. Check the list below.
Data you can get
A processed table (series matrix) and supplementary files from NCBI; the raw sequencing reads from ENA. Which of these hold counts depends on the study, so check the file list.

Mitochondrial dysfunction characterises the multigenerational effects of maternal obesity on MASLDJHEP reports : innovation in hepatology · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Although maternal obesity is an independent risk factor for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), the pathogenesis remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effect and mechanisms of multigenerational maternal western diet (WD) on MASLD progression, and test drug candidates in a preclinical model. Female mice were fed WD from 8 weeks before breeding initiation with a normal chow (NC)-fed male, throughout pregnancy and lactation.
Read the full summary ↓
Male offspring were weaned onto NC or WD and assessed at the age of 16 weeks. Maternal WD feeding aggravated body weight gain, insulin resistance, steatosis and inflammation. Fibrosis was only observed in offspring exposed to maternal WD. Mechanistically, the latter exhibited reduced OXPHOS activity. Maternal WD aggravates MASLD in male offspring, with mitochondrial dysfunction contributing to disease severity.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE291363_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1233242 and SRA study SRP568677. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
5 × Liver, NC/NC, vs 5 × Liver, NC/WD, vs 5 × Liver, Multigenerational WD without fibrosis, vs 3 × Liver, Multigenerational WD with fibrosis,

Supports a between-group comparison across 18 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 18 sample titles; they account for 18 of them. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
