Effects of prenatal and postnatal diet on: a leptin mRNA expression and b serum leptin concentration. For the whole pregnancy, dams were fed the following diets: NP + NF; RP + NF; NP + SF; RP + SF. Offspring were fed after weaning the following diets: AIN; HF. The results are presented as mean values with the standard error. P < 0.05 is considered statistically significant. NP normal protein, RP restricted protein, NF normal folic acid, SF supplemented folic acid, AIN AIN-93 diet, HF high fat. *The effect of fat content in the postweaning diet
