Values are for mean and SEM. Offspring adipose tissue mass of four groups of cross-fostered offspring at 4 or 12 weeks of age: offspring exposed to a chow diet during gestation cross-fostered to a chow fed dam during lactation (CC, n 15–16) or a cafteria fed dam (CO, n 16), offspring exposed to a cafeteria diet during gestation cross-fostered to a chow fed dam during lactation (OC, n 16) or a cafeteria fed dam (OO, n 12).
Effect of sex for gonadal and perirenal adiposity at 4 and 12 weeks of age (P < 0.05).
*Effect of maternal lactation diet (P = 0.030).
