Mechanisms by which early-life nutritional factors program postnatal metabolism
2016/17-2019/20 • $244,000 • PI
Environmental exposures during critical periods of development can have permanent effects on tissue structure and metabolism. Of the environmental factors known to have such effects, maternal nutrition is one of the most well-studied. More recently, fathers' diet or paternal nutrition has been...
Mechanisms by which macronutrients program postnatal metabolism
2011/12-2015/16 • $155,000 • PI
There is convincing evidence that nutritional influences early in life can permanently program adult health. A range of animal studies have shown that maternal under-nutrition during pregnancy can be harmful to the offspring when they reach adulthood. Disturbances in body weight, blood glucose...
