Imprinted gene expression in the rat embryo–fetal axis is altered in response to periconceptional maternal low protein diet
1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
In our previous study, we have shown that maternal low protein diet (LPD, 9% casein vs 18% casein control) fed exclusively during the rat preimplantation period (0-4.25 day postcoitum) induced low birth weight, altered postnatal growth and hypertension in a gender-specific manner. In this study, we investigated the effect of maternal LPD restricted only to the preimplantation period (switched diet) or provided...
