Maternal HF (high fat) increases male offspring body weight, adiposity and food intake. (A) Male offspring body weights from birth to 48 weeks (wks) of age of Controls (●) and HF (●); inset of body weights from 1 day to 3 weeks of age. (B) Body fat and lean body mass and percentage of body weight of 12-month old male offspring. (C) Food intake from 4 to 48 weeks of age of male offspring from control (●) and HF (●) groups. Values are mean ± SE of n = 6 males from six litters. * p < 0.01 vs control.
