Maternal body weight, fat and muscle mass, blood glucose, plasma insulin, triglyceride concentrations and maternal exercise level.

Body weight, retroperitoneal WAT, total WAT, muscle mass, blood glucose, plasma insulin and triglyceride concentrations of lean and obese dams at 4 weeks post-partum. Total fat represents the sum of retroperitoneal, gonadal and visceral fat pads. Muscle mass represents the sum of gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. The first letter describes maternal diet; chow (C) or HFD (F) and the second letter describes maternal activity; sedentary (S) or exercise (E). Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by post hoc LSD comparison.**P Maternal body weight, fat and muscle mass, blood glucose, plasma insulin, triglyceride concentrations and maternal exercise level.
