Recent Advances in Nutritional Sciences Maternal Nutrition and Fetal Development
Nutrition is the major intrauterine environmental factor that alters expression of the fetal genome and may have lifelong consequences. This phenomenon, termed “fetal programming,” has led to the recent theory of “fetal origins of adult disease.” Namely, alterations in fetal nutrition and endocrine status may result in developmental adaptations that permanently change the structure, physiology,...
متن کاملExtra virgin olive oil in maternal diet increases osteogenic genes expression, but high amounts have deleterious effects on bones in mice offspring at adolescence
Objective(s): Maternal high-fat diet has been shown to have deleterious effects on the offspring bones. However, there is no study to assess the effects of type and amount of maternal dietary oil in an isocaloric diet, with focus on extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). The objective of the current study was to test the hypothesis that type of maternal dietary oil has more effects than its amount in a...
متن کاملFetal origins of hyperphagia, obesity, and hypertension and postnatal amplification by hypercaloric nutrition.
Environmental factors and diet are generally believed to be accelerators of obesity and hypertension, but they are not the underlying cause. Our animal model of obesity and hypertension is based on the observation that impaired fetal growth has long-term clinical consequences that are induced by fetal programming. Using fetal undernutrition throughout pregnancy, we investigated whether the effe...
متن کاملNutrigenomics and its Applications in Animal Science
Nutrigenomics applies genomic technologies to study how nutrients affect expression of genes. With the advent of the post genomic era and with the use of functional genomic tools, the new strategies for evaluating the effects of nutrition on production efficiency and nutrient utilization are becoming available. Nutrigenomics plays an efficient role in various fields of animal health like nutrit...
متن کاملEpigenetics and Systems Physiology of Nutrition: An Overview
Understanding of basic mechanisms mediating epigenetic regulation is essential for knowing cellular differentiation and genomic programming for function. Epigenetics refers to chemical marks on genes and their products, impacting gene expression without any alteration in DNA base sequence. These marks are copied and carried over through cell division and yet, are reversible with appropriate mol...
