Figure 2

Cell sizes of subcutaneous (A; ScAT) and retroperitoneal (B; RpAT) adipose tissues related to body weight in prenatally adequately nourished AD (black boxes, n = 16) and prenatally undernourished UN (grey triangles, n = 16) offspring. Slopes of linear regression lines of AD data analyses are significantly different from zero with p < 0.01 (in ScAT and RpAT) and the goodness of fit is demonstrated by a coefficient of determination r2 = 0.46 in ScAT and r2 = 0.401 in RpAT. Analyses of UN data in ScAT and RpAT revealed no significant relationship between cell size and body weight.
