Adipose tissue gene expression profiling reveals distinct molecular pathways that define visceral adiposity in offspring of maternal protein-restricted rats

Abstract excerpt

There is increasing evidence that poor early growth confers an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and other features of the metabolic syndrome in later life. We hypothesized that this may result from poor nutrition during early life exerting permanent effects on the structure and function of key metabolic organ systems. To study the long-term impact of early-life undernutrition on susceptibility to...
