The feeding flow chart for three generations. Figure 1 shows study design. Female Sprague-Dawley rats in SC group consumed a 12.9% fat house chow diet from the age of 3 weeks and throughout the perinatal period, whereas HF group consumed a 45% fat HF diet during the time. Both F1 and F2 offspring were weaned at the age of 3 weeks and fed with SC diet thereafter. The red line indicates the time period in which the dams were fed with the HF diet. The blue line presents the time period in which the SC diet was fed to the control dams, F1-generation and F2-generation offspring. HF, high-fat; SC standard chow
