We aimed to investigate the associations between maternal intake of folate, vitamin B12, B6,
B2, methionine, choline, phosphatidylcholine and betaine during the period surrounding …

Obesity is a growing health crisis of pandemic proportions. Numerous animal and human
studies have confirmed that obesity and related metabolic abnormalities, such as insulin …

Malnutrition associated with low dietary protein can induce gestational inflammation and
sets a long-lasting metabolic impact on the offspring even after replenishment. The work …

Fetal programming is linked to adulthood metabolic and chronic diseases. We hypothesized
that early fish oil (FO) intake would revert the programming responses in adult offspring …

Background & aims Maternal polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) concentrations in
pregnancy are essential for fetal lipid metabolism and adipocyte differentiation. Whether …

Dietary protein restriction in pregnant females reduces offspring birth weight and increases
the risk of developing obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Despite these …

Epidemiologic results suggest that protein intake in infancy and later adiposity might be
related. We examined whether high dietary protein exposure in utero and/or during …

abstract Background: Maternal polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentrations during
pregnancy may have persistent effects on growth and adiposity in the offspring. A …

Purpose Indirect effects of a high-protein maternal diet are not well understood. In this study,
we analyzed short-term and sustainable effects of a prenatal versus early postnatal maternal …

Perinatal nutrition is thought to affect the long-term risk of the adult to develop metabolic
syndrome. We hypothesized that maternal supplementation with eicosapentaenoic acid and …
