Table 1 Serum biochemical parameters (total protein, albumin, trygliceride, total cholesterol and glucose) of offspring of rats at 22 days old, from control, inactive and active dams subjected to a normo-protein diet (NP, 17% protein, n = 8) or low-proten diet (LP, 8% protein, n = 8) during pregnancy and lactation.

  1. *Differences between LP and LP-inactive vs. NP and NP-inactive respectively (p < 0.05; two-way ANOVA). #Differences between LP and LP-inactive vs. LP-active (p < 0.05; two-way ANOVA). Groups: NP-inactive (offspring of dams who received NP diet and who presented an inactive phenotype), NP-active (offspring of dams who received NP diet and who presented an active phenotype), LP-inactive (offspring of dams who received LP diet and who presented an inactive phenotype) and LP-active (offspring of dasm who received LP diet and who presented an active phenotype). Values are presented as mean ± S.E.M.
