It is well established that the maternal diet during the periconceptional period affects the
progeny's health. A growing body of evidence suggests that the paternal diet also influences …

Suboptimal intrauterine conditions, including poor nutrition, during critical periods of growth
may lead to lifelong changes in the body's organs and tissues, thus providing a …

Paternal nutritional and other perturbations are linked to risk of metabolic disease and
obesity in offspring. Germ cell-dependent mechanisms have recently been linked to these …

The period around the time of conception is one characterised by considerable cytological
and molecular restructuring as ovulation occurs, the oocyte is fertilised and the embryonic …

There is an ever increasing body of evidence that demonstrates that paternal over-nutrition
prior to conception programs impaired metabolic health in offspring. Here we examined …

Maternal nutrition and metabolism are critical determinants of adult offspring health. Recent
reports describe adverse offspring outcomes associated with the father's diet, indicating …

Fetal programming of metabolic diseases is now a well established concept. The scope of
the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease has, however, widened and led to the …

Abstract Population, human, animal, tissue, and molecular studies show collectively and
consistently that maternal nutrition in the pre-or periconception period influences fetal …

Infertility is a growing public health problem. Consumption of antioxidant bioactive food
compounds (BFCs) that include micronutrients and non-nutrients has been highlighted as a …

The global pandemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes is often causally linked to changes in
diet and lifestyle; namely increased intake of calorically dense foods and concomitant …
