Resumo | Pregnant and nonpregnant rats were subjected to one of four food intake schedules: ad libitum, 20, 40 and 60% of food restriction, during 20 days, with the objective of studying the distribution of energy between food-restricted mothers and offspring. the animals were anesthetized and the conceptuses were removed and separated into male, female, and placental tissues. the rats were then killed and all carcasses were prepared for energy balance determination. A baseline group of weight-matched rats were killed in the first day of the experiment to evaluate the initial body energy. the results obtained showed that the energy balance of pregnant rats was impaired as a consequence of the food restriction imposed. the offspring from restricted mothers had lower body weight and energy content and were less in number than the ones from the control dams. It is also suggested that food restriction causes the mother to transfer similar percent energy to the offspring as in control animals which will deplete the mother energy stores more than in ad libitum fed rats. |
