Behavioral Preference Test
Objective: Assessment of offspring preference for sucrose and fat following maternal high-fat diet exposure
This is a Behavioral Preference Test protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps, 3 materials. Extracted from a 2010 paper published in Endocrinology.

Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Behavioral Preference Test Setup
Conduct preference test for sucrose and fat in offspring from dams fed high-fat diet during pregnancy and lactation
Note: Test measures increased preference for sucrose and fat in offspring exposed to maternal high-fat diet
