Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Over 40% of pregnant women in the USA are obese which negatively affects fetal development and offspring health. Maternal obesity (MO) leads to fibrotic infiltration in multiple tissues and organs of offspring during their adulthood although the origin and mechanisms are unclear.
