Effects of prenatal dexamethasone (DEX) exposure (DEX), postnatal high-fat (HF) diet (VHF), and prenatal DEX plus postnatal HF diet exposure (DHF) on body weight. Body weight was measured in conscious rats between 1 and 6 months of age. N = 8–10/group. Two-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the individual effects of prenatal DEX (Hit 1) and postnatal HF diet (Hit 2) and their interaction effect (Hit 1 x Hit 2). Abbreviations: VEH; vehicle. aHit 1, p < 0.05; bHit 2, p < 0.05; cHit 1 × Hit 2, p < 0.05. *as compared with VEH, p < 0.05; #as compared with DEX, p < 0.05; §as compared with VHF, p < 0.05
