All data are expressed as means ± SE. F2 organ weights at 6 mo of age. Weights of heart, left ventricle, kidney (combined left and right), pancreas, and dorsal fat were measured at postmortem and are expressed relative to body weights. 1 male and 1 female randomly selected per litter, n = 8–15 per group.
Significant difference (P < 0.05) between non-embryo-transferred Control and Restricted (Student's unpaired t-test).
Significant differences across the six groups, as indicated by letters that differ (one-way ANOVA with SNK post hoc analysis).
