Maternal food restriction is associated with the development of obesity in offspring. This
study examined how maternal undernutrition in sheep affects the fetal hypothalamic …

Epidemiological data indicate that an adverse maternal environment during pregnancy
predisposes offspring to metabolic syndrome with increased obesity, and type 2 diabetes …

Undernutrition during pregnancy is implicated in the programming of offspring for the
development of obesity and diabetes. We hypothesized that maternal programming causes …

Maternal undernutrition is associated with programming of obesity in offspring. While
previous evidence has linked programming to the hypothalamic, pituitary, and adrenal …

We have demonstrated previously that plasma adrenocorticotropin hormone and cortisol
responses to exogenous and endogenous stimuli are reduced in fetuses of mildly …

We investigated the effects of moderate maternal periconceptional undernutrition from 60 d
before to 30 d after mating on fetal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function in late …

The escalating rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes have reached pandemic proportions. It
has been proposed that the risk of developing metabolic disorders in adult life is influenced …

Background and objective Maternal overnutrition has been implicated in affecting the
offspring by programming metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes, by …

Pre‐and neonatal overfeeding programmes a permanent obesity disposition and
accompanying diabetic and cardiovascular disorders, by unknown mechanisms. We …

Glucocorticoids are proposed to act as intermediary factors that transcribe the
