Maternal food restriction (MFR)-induced decrease in triolein uptake, a functional marker for lipofibroblasts, is blocked by metyrapone (MTP). Both male (A) and female (B) postnatal day 21 (p21) lung explants showed significant decrease in triolein uptake; MTP treatment not only blocked the MFR-induced decrease in triolein uptake but also in fact increased it. * = P < .05 FA versus AA and # = P < .05 FA + M versus FA; N = 6. AA indicates ad libitum diet; FA + M, food-restricted diet with MTP.
