Figure 2. Effect of paternal overweight on female offspring’s body weight at different stages of life.

Body weight (g) of OID offspring (a) at birth, (b) at weaning (pre-puberty), (c) in post-puberty and (d) in adulthood. All data (n = 21–33/group) are mean ± s.e.m. Significant differences versus the control group assessed by t-test. P < 0.05 is considered significant; exact P values are shown in each plot.
