While the 1X folate offspring were also heavier than the 5X-FA offspring, these results did not reach statistical significance (~9%, p > 0.05).

The sentences
marginally significantp = 0.054
Additionally, a marginally significant form effect ( p = 0.054) on ambulatory activity during the light-cycle was found that was largely driven by lower activity in 5X-MTHF compared to the 5X-FA offspring, but similar to 1X offspring; potentially contributing to their higher weight gain [ 41 ].
a strong trendp = 0.7
The form of folate also affected ambulatory activity as evidenced by a strong trend towards reduced activity that was mainly driven by the high MTHF form (Dose p = 0.7, Form p = 0.054, Dose×Form p = 0.09).
