Effect of Maternal Undernutrition on Offspring Ovarian Primordial Follicle Number.

<p>Maternal UN occurring throughout pregnancy and lactation (UNPL) resulted in a significant reduction in offspring primordial follicle number. Data are presented as follicle number per mm3 of ovarian tissue; median ± upper and lower quartiles. Open bars correspond to a postnatal chow diet; closed bars correspond to a postnatal HF diet. Two-Way ANOVA Main Effects: maternal diet p = 0.035; postnatal diet = 0.610; interaction p = 0.072. Holm-Sidak <i>Post-hoc</i> analyses: * p<0.001 compared to chow-fed Controls.
