Placenta Weight at GD 18.5 | 0.10 ± 0.00 | 0.10 ± 0.00 | 0.10 ± 0.00 | 0.10 ± 0.00 | ns |
Fetus/Placenta Weight | 10.99 ± 0.47 | 11.02 ± 0.30 | 11.75 ± 0.46 | 10.86 ± 0.29 | ns |
GD: Gestational day; CD, control diet; HF/HS, high fat diet; Veh, vehicle; DHT, dihydrotestosterone. ns: no significance. Data are Mean values ± SEM and were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA to investigate interactions between maternal diet and DHT injection or main effect of either maternal diet or DHT. There was no interaction between maternal diet and the DHT injection in any variables studied.
