Figure 7

Exacerbated fatty liver phenotype in male offspring from HFD-fed dams. (A) Relative liver weights, (B) Photomicrographs of hematoxylin and eosin-stained liver sections, and (C) mRNA expression of lipogenic genes Cidec, Ppar-γ and CD36 in male and female offspring fed HFD postnatally. Data are expressed as means ± SD. Statistical differences were determined using a two-way ANOVA to examine the effects of maternal HFD and offspring sex, followed by Student-Newman-Keuls post hoc analyses. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 ***p < 0.001).
