Evidence for liver energy metabolism programming in offspring subjected to intrauterine undernutrition during midgestation

Abstract excerpt

Maternal undernutrition programs fetal energy homeostasis and increases the risk of metabolic disorders later in life. This study aimed to identify the signs of hepatic metabolic programming in utero and during the juvenile phase after intrauterine undernutrition during midgestation.
