Control group (CC, n = 12); Experimental group treated with control diet during lactation and treated with experimental diet, containing 25 g per 100 g flaxseed flour, after weaning (CF, n = 12); Experimental group (FC, n = 12) treated with experimental diet, containing 25 g per 100g flaxseed flour during lactation and treated with control diet, after weaning until 90 days, respectively. Results are expressed as means ± SEM. *,†,‡ Significantly different from the control group (one-way ANOVA, followed by Newman-Keuls post-test, P < 0.05). SEM, standard error of the mean.
