Table 7. Feeding regime of pregnant dams across 8 experimental groups.

Group	n	Strain	Maternal Diet D0-13	Maternal Diet D13-birth (where applicable)
W CP	16	Wistar	CP	CP
W MLP	16	Wistar	MLP	CP
W FeC	16	Wistar	FeC	FeC
W FeD	16	Wistar	FeD	FeC
RHL CP	16	RHL	CP	CP
RHL MLP	16	RHL	MLP	CP
RHL FeC	16	RHL	FeC	FeC
RHL FeD	16	RHL	FeD	FeC

8 dams/group were culled at day 13 of pregnancy (characterisation of potential gatekeepers), 8 dams/group proceeded until term (characterisation of long-term effects). (RHL - Rowett Hodded Lister; CP – control protein; MLP – maternal low protein; FeC – control iron; FeD – low iron.)
