Maternal obesity during pregnancy increases the risk of obesity in the offspring. Obesity,
arising from an imbalance of energy intake and expenditure, can be driven by the ingestion …

Maternal consumption of a high fat diet during pregnancy increases the offspring risk for
obesity. Using a mouse model, we have previously shown that maternal consumption of a …

Objective To utilize a nonhuman primate model to examine the impact of maternal high‐fat
diet (HFD) consumption and pre‐pregnancy obesity on offspring intake of palatable food …

Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) during pregnancy is associated with rapid weight gain and fetal
fat mass increase at an early stage. Also, HFD during pregnancy can cause the activation of …

Maternal diet during pregnancy can impact maternal behavior as well as the intrauterine
environment, playing a critical role in programming offspring's physiology. In a preliminary …

We investigated maternal obesity in inbred SM/J mice by assigning females to a high-fat diet
or a low-fat diet at weaning, mating them to low-fat-fed males, cross-fostering the offspring to …

The maternal perinatal environment modulates brain formation, and altered maternal
nutrition has been linked to the development of metabolic and psychiatric disorders in the …

High caloric intake during early postnatal development can have long term consequences
for the offspring. We previously reported that the adult offspring of dams fed a high-fat diet …

Epidemiological data and results from animal studies indicate that imbalances in maternal
nutrition impact the expression of metabolic disorders in the offspring. We tested the …

Objective: Maternal obesity significantly increases the susceptibility of offspring to develop
obesity and chronic diseases in adulthood. The offspring of obese mothers are shown to …
