ABSTRACT Prenatal overnutrition affects development into adulthood and influences risk of obesity. We assessed the transgenerational effect of maternal Western diet (WD) consumption on offspring physical activity. Voluntary wheel running was increased in juvenile (4–7 wk ofage), but decreased in adult (16–19 wk of age), F 1 female WD offspring.
