Rats with prenatal dexamethasone exposure and postnatal high-fat diet exhibited insulin resistance, and spatial learning and memory impairment: effects of enriched environment

In conclusion, adult male offspring with prenatal dexamethasone exposure and a postnatal HFD showed obesity, increased systolic blood pressure, peripheral and central insulin resistance, and spatial learning and memory impairment. In addition, an enriched environment had beneficial effects in this context.
