Abbreviations: Lac, lactating; LETO, Long Evans Tokushima Otsuka; NP, nulliparous; OLETF, Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima fatty rats; PW, postweaning. Note: Lac1 data represent postpartum weight. The animals were not killed at this time. A, significantly different from NP group, within strain; B, significantly different from PW group, within strain;

significant OLETF–LETO difference at this phase.
