Abstract
Prenatal food restriction (PFR) induces dysfunction of the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑adrenal (HPA) axis in the adult offspring. The aim of the present study was to identify the underlying mechanism of this process. Pregnant rats were placed on a restricted diet between gestational day 11 and 21. The offspring were fed with a high‑fat diet and were subjected to unpredictable chronic stress (UCS) from postnatal week 17 to 20. A higher serum...
