Effect of food availability to lactating mothers on offspring femur growth.
Femur length grew slower and less for pups reared by calorie restricted females (CR60, open circles, grey line) than for those reared by females fed ad libitum (AL, black dots, black line). Lines draw the growth curves estimated per treatment with 2-parameters Gompertz models.
