Genetic selection of embryos that later develop the metabolic syndrome.

Medical hypotheses - 1 May 2012

Edwards M J

Abstract excerpt

THE BARKER HYPOTHESIS: Is an excellent explanation of the process where human and animal foetuses exposed to malnutrition, either by maternal malnutrition or placental insufficiency, are metabolically programmed, with selective stunting of cell differentiation and organ growth. With the postnatal...
