Western diet-induced shifts in the maternal microbiome are associated with altered microRNA expression in baboon placenta and fetal liver
2022-05-20
Abstract excerpt
Maternal consumption of a high-fat, Western-style diet (WD) disrupts the maternal/infant microbiome and contributes to developmental programming of the immune system and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the offspring. Epigenetic changes, including non-coding miRNAs in the fetus and/or placenta may also underlie this risk. We previously showed that obese nonhuman primates (NHP) fed a WD during pregnancy...
