1 Jan 2009

BACKGROUND: miRNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene functions. Maternal dietary modifications during pregnancy and gestation have long-term effects on the offspring, but it is not known whether a maternal high fat (HF) diet during pregnancy and lactation alters expression of key miRNAs in the offspring. RESULTS: We studied the effects of maternal HF diet on the adult offspring by feeding mice with...
