C – offspring of dams fed control diet; CF – offspring of dams fed control diet supplemented with oligofructose; T – offspring of dams fed diet enriched with hydrogenated vegetable fat; TF – offspring of dams fed diet enriched with hydrogenated vegetable fat supplemented with oligofructose. The number in parentheses refers to the sample value. Data are means ± SEMs. ^*p ≤ 0.05 versus C. ^&p ≤ 0.05 versus CF. ^$p ≤ 0.05 versus T. ^#p ≤ 0.05 versus TF.
