  1. mRNA levels were measured under ad libitum feeding conditions at the age of 6 months by RT-qPCR and expressed as a percentage of the mean value of males control. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 6–8 animals/group). Statistics: R, effect of maternal calorie restriction during lactation; RxS, an interaction between the effect of maternal calorie restriction during lactation and the effect of sex (p < 0.05; two-way ANOVA). *, CR vs Controls (p < 0.05; Student’s t test)
