Exposure to a dysmetabolic in utero environment may be one of the mechanisms to explain why individuals with high birth weight are more likely to remain overweight. We explored this hypothesis in an animal model of diet-induced obesity (DIO). We studied adipose tissue development and glucose tolerance in the offspring of rat dams fed a diet rich in milk and sugar from early adulthood until day (d) 2 postpartum. This diet promoted body weight, (BW) gain and was previously shown to produce insulin resistance and gestational glucose intolerance. The DIO offspring showed a higher BW in early life (between d7 and d35), with a maximum of 1 SD above the mean BW of controls; however, BW in DIO offspring after d35 was comparable with that of controls. Neonatal DIO offspring also showed larger fat depots, adipocyte hypertrophy (P
