Effect of early-LDC exposure on body composition. (A) Study design: C57BL/6J mice received LDC (100 nM in drinking water) continuously for life beginning either at weaning (day 28, LDC-w, n = 6 males and n = 5 females), or from fertilization (LDC-m, n = 6 males and n = 5 females). Control mice received water alone (n = 6 males and n = 6 females). (B–D) Body composition was measured by NMR at week 20; *p < 0.05 compared with the control. (E) Body fat percentage in male and female mice was measured; *p < 0.05 compared with the control. Note: F, female; M, male.
