Programming of hepatic insulin-sensitive enzymes in offspring of rat dams fed a protein-restricted diet

Abstract excerpt

Hepatic enzymes associated with glucose hemostasis were studied in offspring of dams fed either a 20% protein (control) or an isocaloric 8% protein (low-protein) diet during pregnancy and lactation. Additionally, offspring were exposed to maternal 8% protein diet only during gestation (recuperated) or lactation (postnatal low-protein). Glucokinase activity decreased (approximately 50%), whereas...
