Figure 1. Effect of maternal diet on dam, baby and adult offspring.
(A) Mean body weights of dam fed with the control diet (Ctrl), high fatty (HF) or highly palatable diet (HP) (n = 10 in each group). Dam were weighted 6 weeks before mating, at the time of mating and after the delivery of their offspring. (B–C) Mean body weight of offspring born to dams fed with the Ctrl diet (n = 9), HF diet (n = 10), and HP diet (n = 11), measured at birth (day 1), and in adulthood (10 weeks after birth). (D–F) Physiological parameters of offspring born to dams fed with the Ctrl diet (n = 9), HF diet (n = 10), and HP diet (n = 11). *p<0.05; **p<0.001.
