Influence of the maternal diet and diet after weaning on body size and metabolism regulation.

LF and HF stand for, respectively, low fat and high fat diet. p Mat and p Post indicate, respectively, the p-values associated with the influence of the maternal diet and diet after weaning. The influence of the maternal diet on dams' phenotypes and offspring's body weight at weaning was assessed using a Student's t-test. For all other offspring's phenotypes, the respective influence of the maternal and post-weaning diet was determined using a two-way ANOVA. After correcting for animal weight, many of the phenotypes did not reach statistical significance for the effect of post-weaning or maternal diet.
