Postnatal weights in the first four weeks of life and milk intake studies in LG-RA and LG-H groups. Data are represented in graphs as means ± SD. (A) LG-H exposure results in decreased birthweight but increased weight at three weeks of postnatal age compared to LG-RA. The single asterisk indicates a significant difference between LG-H (blue) and LG-RA (black) groups (p = 0.006 by Student’s t-test) at birth, and the double asterisk indicates a significant difference between LG-H (blue) and LG-RA (black) groups (p < 0.001 by Student’s t-test) at three weeks postnatal age. (B) Milk intake, estimated as a weight change after one hour of suckling with the mother after a 5 hour fasting period, was ~25% greater in the litter size-matched LG-H group compared to the LG-RA group (p = 0.024 by Student’s t-test, denoted by asterisk).
