Since 1980, global obesity has doubled, and the incidence of cardiometabolic diseases
such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease is also increasing. While genetic susceptibility …

Exposure to environmental factors in early life can influence developmental processes and
long-term health in humans. Early life nutrition and maternal diet are well-known examples …

Maternal metabolic homeostasis exerts long-term effects on the offspring's health outcomes.
Here, we demonstrate that maternal high-fat diet (HFD) feeding during lactation predisposes …

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 …

Obesity is well characterized as a systemic inflammatory condition, and is also associated
with cognitive disruption, suggesting a link between the two. We assessed whether …

development of metabolic dysfunction in offspring, even when the offspring follow a healthful …

Studies assessing maternal dietary intakes and the relationship with birthweight are
inconsistent, thus attempting to draw inferences on the role of maternal nutrition in …

Significant alterations in maternal nutrition may induce long‐term metabolic consequences
in offspring, in particular obesity and leptin and insulin resistance. Although maternal …
