Table 1 in Perinatal exposure to a high-fat diet alters proopiomelanocortin, neuropeptide Y and dopaminergic receptors gene expression and the food preference in offspring adult rats

Table 1. Experimental design. The rats were fed commercial standard diet for rodents control diet or high-fat diet during pregnancy, lactation and post-weaning (up to 100 days of life).During the feeding period, rats consumed both diets (control diet and high-fat diet). The numbers in parentheses indicate the animals number in each nutritional group.
