Maternal Obesity in Sheep Increases Fatty Acid Synthesis, Upregulates Nutrient Transporters, and Increases Adiposity in Adult Male Offspring after a Feeding Challenge
Fig 3
Plasma glucose (a) and insulin (b) responses to a glucose tolerance test in male offspring of control ewes (○, n = 7) fed 100% of NRC recommendations and obese ewes (●, n = 6) fed 150% of NRC recommendations.
Area under the curve (AUC) is shown in insert. Values are means ± SEM. a) Trt P < 0.0001, time P < 0.0001, Trt x time P < 0.0001; and b) Trt P = 0.0002, time P < 0.0001, Trt x time P < 0.0001. * Mean differences (P < 0.05) and ** mean differences (P < 0.01) at a specific time point between control and obese offspring.
