Sažetak
INTRODUCTION: In this study, we were re searching impact of mothers` nutrition, gender and nutrition of offspring on motori c characteristics in Sprague Dawley rats. METHODS: Ten female rats we re randomly divided in 2 groups. One group was fed with high fat diet (HFD) and other with standard laboratory chow (CD). After copulation and lactation, offspring from both groups were randomly divide d in 2 groups – HFD (n=70) and CD (n=71) group. Multiple Activity Cage package was us ed for counti ng the number of vertical and horizontal movements. RESULTS: We found significant differences in number of vertical and horizontal movements of offspring in relation with moth er’s nutrition and gend er. Offspring of HFD fed mothers, who were fed with CD, are more physically active than HFD fed offspring. Offspring of CD fed mothers, who were fed with HFD are more physically active than CD fed offspring. Male offspring are more physically active in horizontal plane and less active in vertical plane. CONCLUSION: Mothers` nutrition and gender w ith offspring diet are associated with changes in offspring physical activity. KEYWORDS: obesity, high-fat diet, physical activity
