Fetal and neonatal pathways to obesity.

Frontiers of hormone research - 1 Jan 2008

Gluckman Peter D, Hanson Mark A, Beedle Alan S, Raubenheimer David

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary and developmental perspectives add considerably to our understanding of the aetiology of obesity and its related disorders. One pathway to obesity represents the maladaptive consequences of an evolutionarily preserved mechanism by which the developing mammal monitors nutritional cues from its mother and adjusts its developmental trajectory accordingly. Prediction of a nutritionally sparse environment...
