a Body weight with time of male and female offspring of control and calorie-restricted dams during lactation (CR) from day 1 until day 190 of age. The inset details body weight throughout the lactating period (from day 1 until day 21 of age). Data are mean ± SEM (n = 12–16 animals/group). Statistics: AxR, interaction between age and calorie restriction during lactation; S, effect of sex (p < 0.05; ANOVA repeated measures). b Cumulative food intake (Kcal) of male and female offspring of controls and calorie-restricted dams during lactation (CR) fed ad libitum with normal-fat diet from 21 days until the age of 6 months. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 12–16 animals/group until the age of 21 days; n = 6–8 animals/group until the age of 190 days). Statistics: R, effect of maternal calorie restriction during lactation; S, effect of sex (p < 0.05; two-way ANOVA). *, CR vs Controls (p < 0.05; Student’s t test)
