Fetal and infant influences on non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).

Diabetic medicine : a journal of the British Diabetic Association - 1 Sept 1996

Abstract excerpt

The 'thrifty phenotype' hypothesis states that impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) are the result of adaptation to undernutrition in the fetal and infant environment. In adapting the fetus and infant have to be nutritionally 'thrifty'. If poor nutr...
