Body mass, tissue mass, and serum metabolites for age-matched rats that did not reproduce (NR), and rats that did not (NL) or did (L) suckle their young. (A) Body mass, (B) liver mass, (C) calf muscle mass of both rear triceps surae, (D) retroperitoneal (RetroP) white adipose tissue (WAT) mass, (E) perirenal (PR) WAT mass, (F) serum concentration of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), (G) serum concentration of glucose, and F) serum concentration of insulin. Data shown are mean ± SD (n = 7–8 per group). *Different from NR, and # different from NL (p < 0.05).
