Metabolic profile in peripubertal offspring following maternal HFHC-diet-induced obesity. Plasma phospholipids (A), insulin (B), leptin (C), triglycerides (D), adrenocorticotropic hormone (E), corticosterone (F), cholesterol (G), and non-esterified fatty acids (H) were measured in fasted male and female offspring, following weaning from CON and HFHC dams. There were no significant differences between groups in either male or female offspring. Females had lower phospholipid concentrations than males (A, p = 0.005). ACTH—adrenocorticotropic hormone; NEFA—non-esterified fatty acids; CON—offspring born to dams maintained on control diet; HFHC—offspring born to dams maintained on high-fat-high-carbohydrate diet. Open bars represent CON offspring; closed bars represent HFHC offspring; Results are expressed as mean ± SEM; two-way ANOVA, n = 12–15 group, vs. offspring born to dams consuming same diet (diet effect) vs. male offspring born to dams consuming different diets (sex effect); * p < 0.05, p values > 0.1 were recorded as non-significant (NS).
