Physiological changes in regular diet (RD) and high-fat/high-fructose diet (HFD) mothers prior and during the pregnancy. The HFD increased maternal body weight (A) and blood LDL-cholesterol (B), showing a trend for a rise in blood triglycerides (D) prior to breeding. C: during pregnancy, HFD-fed mothers lost nearly 0.5 kg body wt, while RD-fed mothers gained 1.8 kg. *P < 0.05.
