Body weight, nasoanal length, girth, liver weight, RP fat weight, cecum weight, and blood glucose concentrations of one representative male and female offspring per litter (where available) from chow and Caf females at PND 20. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM and were analysed by three-way ANOVA (maternal diet × sex). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 significant effect of maternal diet; # p < 0.01 significant sex effect ^ p < 0.01 significant maternal diet × sex interaction.
