Offspring liver morphology and metabolic characteristics. Liver weights at necropsy (6 months of age) in male (A) and female (B) offspring during both ND feeding (no HFD) and HFD rechallenge. ND results are white for Ctrl PN and blue for HFD PN. HFD rechallenge results are in light gray for Ctrl PN + HFD and dark gray for HFD PN + HFD (C). Liver triglyceride quantification and representative histology by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining to visualize fat accumulation as open spaces. (D) Liver fibrosis quantification by picro-sirius staining with representative images showing red-stained collagen fibers. Ctrl, control; HFD, high-fat diet; PN, post-natal; HPF, high-power field. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001.
