Maternal High-Fat Diet during Pregnancy and Lactation Influences Obestatin and Ghrelin Concentrations in Milk and Plasma of Wistar Rat Dams and Their Offspring

Table 3

Correlations for obestatin (a) and ghrelin (b) in milk and blood plasma of rat dams and their offspring.

(a)

	Pregnancy		Lactation
	14th d		14th d		21st d
	BD	HF	BD	HF	BD	HF
Plasma obestatin versus body weight
	Plasma obestatin versus milk obestatin
Milk obestatin versus newborns body weight

No correlations were observed for following parameters: plasma obestatin versus blood glucose; plasma obestatin versus newborn plasma obestatin; milk obestatin versus body weight; milk obestatin versus blood glucose.

(b)

	Pregnancy		Lactation
	14th d		14th d		21st d
	BD	HF	BD	HF	BD	HF
Plasma ghrelin versus body weight
	Plasma ghrelin versus milk ghrelin
Plasma ghrelin versus blood glucose
	Milk ghrelin versus newborns plasma ghrelin

No correlations were observed for following parameters: plasma ghrelin versus newborn plasma ghrelin, milk ghrelin versus body weight, milk ghrelin versus blood glucose, and milk ghrelin versus newborn plasma ghrelin. BD: females fed with standard breeding diet during pregnancy and lactation; HF: female rats fed with high-fat diet during pregnancy and lactation; , , .
