Activities of amino- and dipeptidases decreased in the kidneys, while alkaline phosphatase activity remained practically unchanged. Probably, information about protein restriction in nutrition of pregnant females is stored in the biochemical memory of adult offspring and promotes the development of metabolic disturbances.
