Fig. 1

Development of phenotypes of males and females on a high fat diet of the two reciprocal F1-crosses until 10 weeks. The figures show means ± standard deviations of the total fat mass and the total fat mass-to-total-lean mass-ratios in F1-animals without (a and b, respectively) and with cross-fostering (c and d, respectively). Paternal and maternal BFMI (pat, mat) indicates direction of cross. Asterisks indicate significant differences between different reciprocal crosses for males (blue) and females (red) and significant differences within the same reciprocal cross between males and females of matBFMI (orange) and patBFMI (grey) (***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05)
