Mean+STD and animal numbers (n) as well as numbers of pregnancies () are provided for male offspring at 14 and 26 weeks of age for phenotypic markers obtained in offspring of maternal diabetes, paternal diabetes and controls. Significant differences to control offspring (p<0.05) are highlighted in grey shaded boxes (*, p<0.05).

Area: Cortical area, BA/TA: Bone area/trabecular area, Cort. Th.: Cortical thickness.
