Weights of heart, left ventricle, kidney, pancreas, liver, and gastrocnemius relative to body weights were measured at postmortem in male and female Control, Reduced, and Restricted offspring. Values are expressed as means ± SEM; n = 10–15 per group.

^*P < 0.05 versus Control, ^†P < 0.05 versus Reduced.
