Pregnant females and dams with their litters were housed in individual cages. They were fed ad libitum commercial high-fat diet (formula 235-HF, Safe, Augy, France). The energy density of this hypercaloric diet was 4397 kcal/kg with 15,5% from proteins, 48% from lipids and 38,5% from carbohydrates. The size of the litters was standardized at day 1 to 10 pups with a sex ratio 1:1
