Effect of exposure to 1.65G during different developmental periods on total maternal food consumption from G3-P21 (mean ± S.E.M.). Food consumption was reduced in dams exposed to 1.65G during both pregnancy and nursing (group E), during the second week of pregnancy (group A) and during the 2nd and 3rd week of nursing (group D).
