  1. Values are mean ± SEM expressed as the relative abundance (%) of bacterial taxa per total bacteria. Mean values without a common letter are significantly different (P < 0.05) and denote a main effect of maternal diet when analyzed by one-way ANOVA. HFS offspring, n = 29, 15 males and 14 females; OFS offspring, n = 29, 13 males and 16 females; WM offspring, n = 29, 14 males and 15 females.
