M/F₃). b The birth weight of female M/F₃ offspring. c The growth trajectory of male M/F₃ offspring. d The growth trajectory of female M/F₃ offspring. e and f. The representative histological (H&E staining) images (e) and adipocyte size (f) of male M/F₃ offspring’s perigonadal adipose tissues obtained using ImageJ. g and h. The representative histological (H&E staining) images (g) and adipocyte size (h) of female M/F₃ offspring’s perigonadal adipose tissues obtained using ImageJ. n = 15–19/group, *p < 0.05 versus FA, student t test or two-way ANOVA
