Pregnancy is a vital time of growth and development during which maternal nutrition
significantly influences the future health of both mother and baby. During pregnancy, the …

It is still unclear to which extent methyl-group intake during pregnancy can affect maternal
global DNA (hydroxyl) methylation. Pregnancy methylation profiling and its link with methyl …

The fetal origins of health and disease framework has identified extremes in fetal growth and
birth weight as factors associated with the lifelong generation of chronic diseases such as …

Maternal exposure to some dietary and environmental factors during embryonic
development can affect offspring's phenotype and, furthermore, the risk of developing …

Background Mounting evidence suggests that nutritional exposures during pregnancy
influence the fetal epigenome, and that these epigenetic changes can persist postnatally …

Evidence is growing for the long-term effects of environmental factors during early-life on
later disease susceptibility. It is believed that epigenetic mechanisms (changes in gene …

The risk for non-communicable diseases in adulthood can be programmed by early nutrition.
This programming is mediated by changes in expression of key genes in various metabolic …

Background Maternal nutrition during pregnancy and infant nutrition in the early postnatal
period (lactation) are critically involved in the development and health of the newborn infant …

Maternal nutrition is critically involved in the development and health of the fetus. We
evaluated maternal methyl-group donor intake through diet (methionine, betaine, choline …

Background Maternal nutrition in pregnancy has been linked to offspring health in early and
later life, with changes to DNA methylation (DNAm) proposed as a mediating mechanism …
