From: Maternal high fat diet compromises survival and modulates lung development of offspring, and impairs lung function of dams (female mice)

Fig. 7

Dams fed a high fat diet had reduced fasting glucose levels prior to a second pregnancy, and BALF levels of IL-33 and leptin at the experimental endpoint. From 4 weeks of age, female mice were fed either a low fat diet (LFD, n = 14) or high fat diet (HFD, n = 13). Female mice were mated with male mice twice, after mice were fed either diet for 12 and then 18 weeks, with (a) fasting glucose measured immediately prior to second mating. BALF levels of (b) IL-33 and (c) leptin, from dams fed a LFD or HFD for 29 weeks, were measured. Data are shown as mean ± SEM (*p < 0.05)
