Objective Previous human and animal studies have shown that excessive maternal intake of
folic acid (FA) predisposes to impaired glucose tolerance in the offspring. However, the …

Maternal nutrition may influence metabolic profiles in offspring. We aimed to investigate the
effect of maternal folic acid supplement on glucose metabolism in mouse offspring fed a high …

Maternal intake of multivitamins or folic acid above the basal dietary requirement alters the
growth and metabolic trajectory of rat offspring. We hypothesized that a modest increase in …

The possible intake of folate in excess of the recommended upper levels is a matter of
critical importance. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of prenatal and …

Scope Investigate the influence of low‐folate supply during pregnancy and lactation on
obesity and markers of the metabolic syndrome in offspring, and how provision of a high‐fat …

The effects of maternal prenatal folic acid supplementation (FAS) on offspring lipid
metabolism in adulthood remains unclear, although prenatal FAS is compulsively suggested …

The DOHaD theory suggests that adverse environmental factors in early life may lead to the
development of metabolic diseases including diabetes and hypertension in adult offspring …

OBJECTIVE: Prenatal folic acid supplementation or maternal folate sufficiency may protect
the offspring from obesity and insulin resistance. This study aims to summarize the findings …

Maternal diet during gestation can exert a long-term effect on the progeny's health by
programming their developmental scheme and metabolism. The aim of this study is to …

Aims/hypothesis Paternal high-fat diet prior to mating programmes impaired glucose
tolerance in female offspring. We examined whether the metabolic consequences in …
