The effect of maternal diet and a maternal-diet-by-offspring-diet interaction on daughters.

A high-fat maternal diet increased the body weights of high-fat-fed daughters in adulthood, led to more brown fat, a borderline significant increase in reproductive fat pad weight, and increased serum levels of leptin. However, a high-fat maternal diet actually decreased levels of glucose and triglycerides in the daughters. HF = High-fat diet, LF = Low-fat diet, Mat = Maternal, Off = Offspring, N = 10 per group, averages given ± standard error.

母体高脂饮食可使高脂喂养的雌性子代在成年后体重升高，同时促使棕色脂肪含量增加，令生殖脂肪垫重量出现临界显著性升高，并提升血清瘦素（leptin）水平。然而，母体高脂饮食反而会降低子代雌性的血糖与甘油三酯水平。注：HF=高脂饮食（High-fat diet），LF=低脂饮食（Low-fat diet），Mat=母体（Maternal），Off=子代（Offspring）；每组样本量为10，数据以平均值±标准误（standard error）表示。
