Maternal high-fat diet impairs glucose metabolism, β-cell function and proliferation in the second generation of offspring rats

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the impact of perinatal high-fat (HF) diet in female Sprague-Dawley rats (F0) on glucose metabolism and islet function in their early life of second-generation of offspring (F2). METHODS: F0 rats were fed with a standard chow (SC) or HF diet for 8 weeks before mating, up to termination of lactation for their first-generation of offspring (F1-SC and F1-HF). F1 females were...
