Ad libitum feeding increased ovarian and uterine weights in the growth-retarded female rats. Ovarian (A) and uterine (B) weights of animals subjected to ad libitum feeding from 49 days of age and the age-matched food-restricted controls on 50 and 51 days of age. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Numbers in each column indicate the numbers of animals used. Asterisks indicate significant difference in ovarian or uterine weight between the ad libitum-fed rats and the age-matched food-restricted controls (* P < 0.05, Student’s t-test).
