The supply of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is important for optimal fetal and postnatal
development. We have previously shown that leptin levels in suckling rats are reduced by …

Major hepatic metabolic pathways are involved in the control of food intake but how dietary
proteins affect global metabolism to adjust food intake is incompletely understood …

Background Exposure to different concentrations of fatty acids during fetal life may affect
growth and metabolism. However, most studies examined individual fatty acids, whereas …

Maternal overnutrition prior to and during gestation causes pronounced metabolic
dysfunction in the adult offspring. However, less is known about metabolic adaptations in the …

Abstract Background Plant proteins (PPs) have been associated with better cardiovascular
health than animal proteins (APs) in epidemiological studies. However, the underlying …

Whether a high-unsaturated-fat, high-protein (HFP), and low-carbohydrate (CHO) diet during
gestation has long-lasting beneficial effects on lipid metabolism in the offspring was …

Diet during pregnancy has long lasting consequences on the offspring, warranting a study
on the impact of early exposure to a high fat diet on the adult offspring. We hypothesized that …

Maternal diet and gestational hyperglycaemia have implications for offspring health. Leptin
(LEP) and fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) alleles are known to influence body fat …

Context: Maternal diet during pregnancy has been linked to offspring adiposity, but it is
unclear whether maternal polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) status during pregnancy affects …

Perinatal maternal high-fat diet (HFD) increases susceptibility to obesity and fatty liver
diseases in adult offspring, which can be attenuated by the potent hypolipidaemic action of …
