From: Prenatal dexamethasone and postnatal high-fat diet have a synergistic effect of elevating blood pressure through a distinct programming mechanism of systemic and adipose renin–angiotensin systems

Effects of prenatal DEX exposure (DEX), postnatal HF diet (VHF), and prenatal DEX exposure plus postnatal HF diet (DHF) on the weight of different adipose tissue depots. Weights of different adipose depots were measured at 6 months of age. N = 8–10/group. Two-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the individual effects of prenatal DEX exposure (Hit 1) and postnatal HF diet (Hit 2) and their interaction effect (Hit 1 x Hit 2). The percentage shown in the figure was the adipose depot weight relative to that of the vehicle group (VEH). 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
