TABLE 1.

Body weight and composition, protein and nitrate/nitrite excretion in male control and HAF offspring at 16 weeks of age

	Control offspring	HAF offspring
Body weight (g) (n = 11–17/group)	445.1 ± 8.7	422.6 ± 7.9*
Fat mass (g) (n = 11–17/group)	37.8 ± 3.3	33.2 ± 1.4
Fat mass/body weight (n = 11–17/group)	0.084 ± 0.006	0.078 ± 0.003
Lean mass (g) (n = 11–17/group)	385.4 ± 4.5	368.5 ± 6.9*
Lean mass/body weight (n = 11–17/group)	0.866 ± 0.009	0.872 ± 0.004
Urinary protein excretion (mg/d) (n = 12–19/group)	15.3 ± 1.3	25.5 ± 3.6*
Urinary nitrate/nitrite excretion (μmol/d/kg BW) (n = 14–18/group)	4.3 ± 0.4	4.8 ± 0.3

Key: HAF, offspring of hyperandrogenemic female dam. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Differences between groups were determined by Student's t‐test.

^* p < 0.05, control vs. HAF.
