Bodyweight and food intake during postnatal development. a Weekly bodyweight measurements. PR pups were born smaller. The difference between groups diminished by the 6th week. b Weekly bodyweight gain relative to the bodyweight measured on the previous week. There was a decrease with age in both groups (p < 0.001). PR pups gained poorly during the 1st week. They gained relatively more weight than controls in the next few weeks (catch up growth). c Food consumption relative to bodyweight, measured weekly after weaning. PR rats consumed relatively more of chow than controls starting from the 11th week. Data are presented as means ± SEM. n = 9-8, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05 vs. controls
