Background and objective Maternal overnutrition has been implicated in affecting the
offspring by programming metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes, by …

Objective Perinatal exposure to maternal obesity results in predisposition of offspring to
develop obesity later in life. Increased weight gain in offspring exposed to maternal obesity …

Early-life exposure to calorie-dense food, rich in fat and sugar, contributes to the increasing
prevalence of obesity and its associated adverse cognitive and emotional outcomes at …

We tested the hypothesis that maternal consumption of dietary fat, independent from obesity,
increases serum leptin in neonatal pups and predisposes them to adult obesity. Female rats …

Both human epidemiologic and animal model studies demonstrate that prenatal and
lactational exposure to maternal obesity and high‐fat diet are associated with adverse …

The escalating rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes have reached pandemic proportions. It
has been proposed that the risk of developing metabolic disorders in adult life is influenced …

There is a growing body of evidence from both human epidemiologic and animal studies
that prenatal and lactational exposure to maternal obesity and high‐fat diet are associated …

OBJECTIVES: Epidemiological and animal studies have shown that maternal obesity
predisposes the offspring to obesity and the metabolic syndrome, possibly via late-onset …

Background: Several epidemiologic studies have demonstrated associations between
periconceptional environmental exposures and health status of the offspring in later life …

Prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) in animals and humans predicts obesity and metabolic
dysfunction in the offspring. Epigenetic modification of gene function is considered one …
