Maternal but not paternal transmission of maternal CAP exposure-induced developmental programming of adulthood adiposity. a The birth weight of male F2 offspring born by the female F1 (the maternal line, M/F2). b The birth weight of female M/F2 offspring. c The growth trajectory of male M/F2 offspring. d The growth trajectory of female M/F2 offspring. e and f. The representative histological (H&E staining) images (e) and adipocyte size (f) of male M/F2 offspring’s perigonadal adipose tissues obtained using ImageJ. g and h. The representative histological (H&E staining) images (g) and adipocyte size (h) of female M/F2 offspring’s perigonadal adipose tissues obtained using ImageJ. I. The birth weight of male F2 offspring born by the male F1 (the paternal line, P/F2). J. The birth weight of female P/F2 offspring. K. The growth trajectory of male P/F2 offspring. L. The growth trajectory of female P/F2 offspring. M and N. The representative histological (h and e staining) images (m) and adipocyte size (N) of male P/F2 offspring’s perigonadal adipose tissues obtained using ImageJ. O and P. The representative histological (H&E staining) images (o) and adipocyte size (p) of female P/F2 offspring’s perigonadal adipose tissues obtained using ImageJ. n = 11–28/group, *p < 0.05 versus FA, student t test or two-way ANOVA
