Maternal methyl supplemented diets and effects on offspring health
Women seeking to become pregnant and pregnant women are currently advised to consume high amounts of folic acid and other methyl donors to prevent neural tube defects in their offspring. These diets can alter methylation patterns of several biomolecules, including nucleic acids, and histone proteins. Limited animal model data suggests that developmental exposure to these maternal methyl supplem...
متن کاملEffects of Energy and Protein Levels of Maternal Diets at Late Gestation on Growth, Health and Performance of Goat Kids
A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of energy and protein levels of maternal diets on growth, some blood parameters, health, and performance of baby goat kids at first month of life. On 95 d after successful mating, 28 synchronized singleton pregnant Sistani goats were randomly allocated to four treatments including 1) low protein and low energy (LPLE), 2) high protein and low energy ...
متن کاملMethyl Donor Supplementation Blocks the Adverse Effects of Maternal High Fat Diet on Offspring Physiology
Maternal consumption of a high fat diet during pregnancy increases the offspring risk for obesity. Using a mouse model, we have previously shown that maternal consumption of a high fat (60%) diet leads to global and gene specific decreases in DNA methylation in the brain of the offspring. The present experiments were designed to attempt to reverse this DNA hypomethylation through supplementatio...

Background Although there are different ways to achieve the desired sex of the fetus, most of those are not completely effective. This paper reports a study on human to check the theories which hypothesize that high potassium maternal diet, douching with alkaline substance to change vaginal PH and intercourse around ovulation affects the sex ratio of the progeny MaterialsAndMethods A quasi-expe...
