Upon weaning, all cross-fostered offspring were placed onto HFD for 20 weeks. b Body weight of dams at parturition and at weaning: LFD-LN (blue), HFD-OR (green), or HFD-OP (red) dams. c Weight of standardized litters (g), shown for the entire course of lactation, of pups nursed on LFD-LN (blue), HFD-OR (green), or HFD-OP (red) dams. Graphs show the mean£¿¡À£¿s.e.m. for 4¨C5 dams/group. d Weight (g) at weaning of cross-fostered male and female pups. e Milk composition analysis from LFD-LN (blue), HFD-OR (green), or HFD-OP (red) dams, showing total protein, lactose and total triglyceride, expressed as kcal/mL of milk. f Fatty Acid composition analysis of the neutral lipid fraction of milk. Data are expressed in nmoles of fatty acid per nmole of milk triglyceride.

The total n-6/n-3 fatty acid ratio is the quantitative sum of n-6 (18:2, 18:3, 20:2, 20:3, 20:4, 22:2, 22:4, and 22:5) divided by the sum of n-3 (18:3, 20:3, 20:4, 20:5, 22:3, 22:5, and 22:6); the AA/DHA£¿+£¿EPA ratio is the absolute amount of 20:4 n-6 divided by the sum of 22:6 n-3£¿+£¿20:5 n-3.
