Glucose tolerance test in males (3 months) and females (6 months).

MALES Maternal Diet
Postweaning diet Control Low Protein

Fasting glucose  Control 102.3 (15.8) 162.0 (14.8)*
 High fat 199.7 (26.3) 178.5 (17.3)
AUC-IPGTT  Control 874.2 (88) 810.7 (32)
 High fat 988.4 (88) 1038.2 (78.5)
FEMALES Maternal Diet
Postweaning diet Control Low Protein

Fasting glucose  Control 154.4 (6.6) 150.2 (5.5)
 High fat 176 (5.2) 186.4 (13.8)
AUC-IPGTT  Control 593.2 (29.8) 636.3 (23.5)
 High fat 725.7 (62.6) 682.7 (22.9)

Glucose tolerance test performed after 18hr fast. Male mice from LP pregnancies demonstrate a significantly elevated fasting glucose level when maintained on the control diet from weaning compared to mice from control pregnancies (* p<.05, mean ± S.E.M.).

Animals weaned to the high fat diet had significantly increased fasting glucose levels as compared to animals on the control diet in the glucose tolerance test, as indicated (†p<.05, mean ± S.E.M.).
