Maternal nutrition during pregnancy has a significant influence in establishing patterns of metabolism and postnatal behaviours in offspring, and therefore shapes their risk of developing disorders in later life. Although it is well established that a mismatch between food consumption and energy expenditure leads to obesity and metabolic dysregulation, little research has investigated the biological origin of such behaviour. We conducted the present experiments to investigate effects of early…

Prenatally induced changes in muscle structure and metabolic function facilitate exercise-induced obesity prevention.
TLDR
Skeletal muscle structure in IUGR offspring is investigated and how moderate daily exercise drives changes in metabolic pathways that promote obesity prevention is investigated, suggesting enhanced metabolic flexibility in IUBR offspring may facilitate muscle contractile performance and therefore support moderate daily Exercise for effective obesity prevention.
Maternal protein restriction in the rat during pregnancy and/or lactation alters cognitive and anxiety behaviors of female offspring
Pre- and/or postnatal protein restriction in rats impairs learning and motivation in male offspring
Sex-Dependent Cognitive Performance in Baboon Offspring Following Maternal Caloric Restriction in Pregnancy and Lactation
TLDR
In summary, 30% restriction in maternal caloric intake has long lasting neurobehavioral outcomes in adolescent male baboon offspring.
Pregnancy and Lactation Sex-Dependent Cognitive Performance in Baboon Offspring Following Maternal Caloric Restriction in
In humans a suboptimal diet during development has negative outcomes in offspring. We investigated the behavioral outcomes in baboons born to mothers undergoing moderate maternal nutrient restriction…
Late-onset exercise in female rat offspring ameliorates the detrimental metabolic impact of maternal obesity.
TLDR
Late-onset exercise ameliorated the effects of maternal obesity and postweaning HFD in reducing body weight, adiposity, plasma leptin, insulin, triglycerides, and glucose intolerance, with greater beneficial effects in offspring of obese dams.
Transgenerational effects of caloric restriction on appetite: a meta‐analysis
TLDR
It is found that lower protein content of restricted diets is associated with higher food intake in female offspring, and that a main source of variation among studies arises from whether, and how, food intake was adjusted for body mass.
Moderate daily exercise activates metabolic flexibility to prevent prenatally induced obesity.
TLDR
The data suggest that IUGR offspring have increased flexibility of energy storage and use and that moderate daily exercise prevents obesity development through activation of distinct pathways of energy use.
Exercise in obese female rats has beneficial effects on maternal and male and female offspring metabolism
TLDR
MEx before and during pregnancy has beneficial effects on the maternal and offspring metabolism and endocrine function occurring with no weight change in mothers and offspring indicating the importance of body composition rather than weight in evaluations of metabolic status.
Pregnancy, Exercise and Late Effects in the Offspring until Adult Age
TLDR
Possibility of introducing significant modifications of the programming of the offspring’s desirable development and health status by adequate and physiological maternal exercise during pregnancy was supported also by some observations in humans.

Sedentary behavior during postnatal life is determined by the prenatal environment and exacerbated by postnatal hypercaloric nutrition.
TLDR
This work is the first to clearly separate prenatal from postnatal effects and shows that lifestyle choices themselves may have a prenatal origin, and predispositions to obesity, altered eating behavior, and sedentary activity are linked and occur independently of postnatal hypercaloric nutrition.
Global undernutrition during gestation influences learning during adult life
Intrauterine growth restriction can lead to significant long-term health consequences such as metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, but less is known about its effects on choice and behavioral…
Prenatal influences on leptin sensitivity and susceptibility to diet-induced obesity.
TLDR
It is suggested that prenatal nutrition can shape future susceptibility to obesity through alterations in leptin sensitivity and changes in energy metabolism during adult life.
Neonatal leptin treatment reverses developmental programming.
TLDR
The complete normalization of the programmed phenotype by neonatal leptin treatment implies that leptin has effects that reverse the prenatal adaptations resulting from relative fetal undernutrition, and is potentially reversible by an intervention late in the phase of developmental plasticity.
Adult growth hormone treatment reduces hypertension and obesity induced by an adverse prenatal environment.
TLDR
The data demonstrated that GH treatment reduces hypertension and improves cardiovascular function in animals exposed to adverse environmental conditions during fetal or postnatal life.
IGF-I treatment reduces hyperphagia, obesity, and hypertension in metabolic disorders induced by fetal programming.
TLDR
It is suggested that IGF-I treatment alleviates hyperphagia, obesity, hyperinsulinemia, hyperleptinema, and hypertension in rats programmed to develop the metabolic syndrome X.
Prenatal influences on susceptibility to diet-induced obesity are mediated by altered neuroendocrine gene expression.
TLDR
The results demonstrate that the amplification of postnatal obesity develops as a consequence of an interaction between prenatal under-nutrition and postnatal high-fat nutrition, consistent with the predictive adaptive response hypothesis that neuroendocrine development during fetal life may be based on predictions about postnatal environmental conditions.
Chronic Maternal Undernutrition in the Rat Leads to Delayed Postnatal Growth and Elevated Blood Pressure of Offspring
TLDR
The data demonstrate that nutritional deprivation in the pregnant rat leads to changes in postnatal allometric growth patterns, to delayed catch-up growth, and to elevated blood pressure in adulthood.
A model of intrauterine growth retardation caused by chronic maternal undernutrition in the rat: effects on the somatotrophic axis and postnatal growth.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that nutritional deprivation in the pregnant rat leads to IUGR and postnatal growth failure and to changes in allometric growth patterns and endocrine parameters of the somatotrophic axis postnatally.
Fetal origins of hyperphagia, obesity, and hypertension and postnatal amplification by hypercaloric nutrition.
TLDR
This study is the first to demonstrate that profound adult hyperphagia is a consequence of fetal programming and a key contributing factor in adult pathophysiology.
