Proportions of apoptotic cells in the fetal liver and ileal villi in among different groups. (a) TUNEL staining of the liver and (b) ileum. The TUNEL staining was the strongest in the HFD group in both liver and ileum. Semi-quantitative analysis of TUNEL stained cells in the (c) liver and (d) ileal villi. NCD: normal-chow diet, HFD: high-fat diet, HFMf: high-fat diet co-treated with metformin during pregnancy (n = 6), * P < 0.05
