Fig. 1From: Long-term effect of early postnatal overnutrition on insulin resistance and serum fatty acid profiles in male ratsBody weights of rats during the first 16 weeks of life. Body weight growth curves are shown for rats from normal litters (NL, □) and small litters (SL, ○) during suckling period (a) (n = 24, 8 litters from each group) and postweaning period (b). (n = 10–12, 4 litters from each group) Results are expressed as mean ± standard error of mean (SEM). Age, litter size, and the interaction were significant, *** P < 0.001Back to article page
