Figure 2. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) in offspring at sacrifice.
Carotid artery catheterization was performed to measure MAP as a representation of blood pressure in the offspring immediately prior to sacrifice (55 ± 0.5 days). A. MAP in female (n=29) and males (n=33), offspring. B. MAP in LF (n=37) and HF (n=25) offspring. The bars represent the mean ± the S.E.M. LF=maternal and offspring consumption of a maintenance chow. HF=maternal and offspring consumption of a diet containing 24% fat and 17.5% high fructose corn syrup. *p<0.05. **p<0.01.
