Fig 2. Effect of maternal environment and offspring diet on blood pressure (obtained via carotid catheter), heart rate and body weight of juvenile (6 week-old) and adult (31 week-old) wild type male offspring.
(A) Systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures in 6 (left panel) and 31 (right panel) week old offspring. (B) Heart rate in 6 (left panel) and 31 (right panel) week old offspring. (C) Body weights in 6 (left panel) and 31 (right panel) week old offspring. Data are means ± SEM of n = 5–7 number of animals per treatment group combination. *P<0.05. WT, wild type; db/+, Leprdb/+; SD, standard diet; HFD, high fat diet.
