Keys: open bar: CCC group, chow throughout; lightly shaded bar: CCJ group, chow in pregnancy and lactation followed by junk food diet after weaning; darkly shaded bar: JJC group, junk food diet in pregnancy and lactation followed by chow after weaning; black bar: JJJ group, junk food diet throughout.
