Although the association between maternal periconceptional diet and adult offspring health
is well characterised, our understanding of the impact of paternal nutrition at the time of …

The adverse influence of maternal obesity on offspring metabolic health throughout the life-
course is a significant public health challenge with few effective interventions. We examined …

Purpose Intra-uterine exposure to protein may affect body composition and may increase the
prevalence of childhood adiposity. Therefore, we examined whether protein intake during …

Previously, we have shown that a maternal low protein diet, fed exclusively during the
preimplantation period of mouse development (Emb-LPD), is sufficient to induce by the …

Background: n-3 (omega-3) Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) inhibit fat
cell differentiation and fat storage in adults, and this has led to the hypothesis that maternal n …

Adipogenesis and lipogenesis are highly sensitive to the nutritional environment in utero
and in early postnatal life. Omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) inhibit …

Purpose Effects of pre-and early postnatal exposure to maternal high-protein diets are not
well understood. Transcription profiling was performed in male mouse offspring exposed to …

Background: Animal studies have shown that protein intake in pregnancy may influence
offspring fat metabolism and adiposity. The macronutrient ratio in human pregnancy appears …

In recent years the intake of n-6 PUFA and trans-fatty acids (TFA) has increased, whereas n-
3 PUFA intake has decreased. The present study investigated the effects of maternal diet …

High obesity rates in almost all regions of the world prompt an urgent need for effective
obesity prevention. Very good scientific evidence from cell culture and rodent studies show …
