Figure 6

Effects of FGR and early catch-up growth on serum lipid parameters. (a) In male rats, the FGR-GN group had a higher TG level than the sham-PN and FGR-PN groups. (b) In female rats, the FGR-GN group had a higher TG level than the FGR-PN group. (e) The average HDL level was higher in the FGR-GN group than in the FGR-PN group. TCHO was similar across all four groups and for both male and female rats (c, d). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. The number of male offspring: sham-GN: n = 6, sham-PN: n = 7, FGR-PN: n = 8, and FGR-GN: n = 7. Number of female offspring: sham-GN: n = 8, sham-PN: n = 8, FGR-PN: n = 7, and FGR-GN: n = 8. FGR: fetal growth restriction, GN: good nutrition, TG: triglyceride, PN: poor nutrition, TCHO: total cholesterol, HDL: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
