Morphology of GWAT and IWAT in male offspring at 24 weeks of age. (A) Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining of GWAT of groups (Control, Pre, P/G) with postnatal ND (top row) and with postnatal HFD (bottom row). The Pre-HFD shows different degrees of fibrosis (smaller and larger image). (B) Average adipocyte sizes comparing groups with postnatal ND (n = 8 per group). Average adipocyte sizes were all significantly larger with postnatal HFD but there was no significant difference among the postnatal HFD groups, Control-HFD (n = 15), Pre-HFD (n = 10), P/G-HFD (n = 9). (C) Average IWAT adipocyte size (n = 8 per group) in the prenatal HFD challenged group. (D) H&E staining of IWAT from the prenatal HFD challenged group. *p < 0.05.
