Maternal nutrition exclusively during the periconceptional period can induce remarkable
effects on both oocyte maturation and early embryo development, which in turn can have …

Background Nonruminant male and female offspring respond differently to gestational
nutrition, with placenta contributing to the underlying mechanisms. However, similar data are …

Fetal growth, survival, and development are benchmarks for the production performance of
sows, and methionine has been shown to impact fetal protein mass and the transport of …

Background To our knowledge, most research demonstrating a link between maternal
nutrition and both fetal growth and offspring development after birth has been performed …

The early embryo's nutritional environment plays an important role in establishing its
developmental potential. However, little is known about the specific nutrient requirements of …

Maternal nutrition affects the development of the fetus and postnatal performance of the calf.
Methionine may play a critical role in developmental programming and is likely deficient in …

Background Pregnancy and early life are critical periods of plasticity during which the fetus
and neonate may be influenced by environmental factors such as nutrition. Maternal …

The roles of methionine metabolism in bovine preimplantation embryo development were
investigated by using ethionine, an antimetabolite of methionine. In vitro produced bovine …
