Macronutrient self-selection by rats exposed to undernutrition in utero. The offspring of pregnant rats fed a low-protein diet throughout pregnancy were provided with a choice of fat-, protein- or carbohydrate-rich food sources. Macronutrient intake was calculated and the low protein exposed animals were found to consume significantly (*P < 0.05) more fat than control rats of the same age [3]
