In the graph above P = protein, C = carbohydrates and F = fat. This data comes from a study on rats that were subjected to fetal growth restriction.
Pregnant mice were fed one of the two diets, indicated in the diagram above, and the nephron number in the kidneys of their offspring was determined. What can we conclude about the impact of the maternal diet on the nephron number of the rat offspring?

Pregnant mice were fed one of the two diets, indicated in the diagram above, and the nephron number in the kidneys of their offspring was determined. What can we conclude about the impact of the maternal diet on the nephron number of the rat offspring?

Answer

The maternal diet does not have a significant impact on the number of nephrons in the kidneys of the developing offspring

Answer

An increase in the amount of fat in the diets of the offspring partially recues the issues caused by fetal growth restriction, as shown by an increased number of nephrons in their kidneys

Answer

An increase in the amount of fat in the maternal diet increases the number of nephrons in their developing offspring

Answer

The impact of fetal growth restriction can be completely rescued by switching the maternal diet to a high fat diet
