Effect of maternal nutrient restriction from early to midgestation on cardiac function and metabolism after adolescent-onset obesity

Abstract excerpt

Maternal nutrient restriction (NR) from early to midgestation has marked effects on endocrine sensitivity and organ function of the resulting offspring. We hypothesized that early NR may reset the expression profile of genes central to myocardial energy metabolism, influencing ectopic lipid deposition and cardiac function in the obese adult offspring. NR offspring were exposed to an "obesogenic" environment, and...
