Maternal protein restriction induces early‐onset glucose intolerance and alters hepatic genes expression in the peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor pathway in offspring

Abstract excerpt

AIMS/INTRODUCTION: Maternal undernutrition during pregnancy and/or lactation can alter the offspring's response to environmental challenges, and thus increases the risk of the development of metabolic diseases at a later age. However, whether maternal protein restriction can modulate glucose metabolism in the early life of offspring is less understood. Furthermore, we explored the potential underlying mechanisms...
