Furthermore, maternal consumption of excessive amounts of fat during pregnancy programs overeating behaviour in children.
For example, low birth weight in newborns may result from maternal stress during pregnancy, and excessive maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol syndrome.
to investigate usage patterns and factors associated with maternal consumption of Chinese herbal medicines in China.
The Seychelles Child Development Study was designed to test the hypothesis that prenatal exposure to MeHg from maternal consumption of a diet high in fish is detrimental to child neurodevelopment.
Conclusions: These results suggest that even when individual subject variance is controlled there was no consistent pattern of associations between child development outcomes and prenatal exposures to MeHg from maternal consumption of a diet high in fish.
Maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy results in a range of structural and functional birth defects.
Previous work with this model has shown that following chronic maternal consumption of a HFD two maternal phenotypes emerge [47].
Maternal consumption of a HF diet both prior to and during pregnancy and lactation, or only during pregnancy and lactation, significantly advanced the age of puberty in female offspring (p<0.001; Figure 3A; Table 1).
This study links chronic maternal consumption of a HFD with fetal hepatic apoptosis and suggests that a potentially pathological maternal fatty acid milieu is replicated in the developing fetal circulation in the nonhuman primate.
Maternal consumption of a HF diet resulted in adult offspring progesterone concentrations that were significantly higher than those of offspring born to Cont dams (p<0.05; Figure 4B), although in MHF offspring these differences did not reach statistical significance.
FOXP3 hypomethylation was increased with maternal consumption of farm milk.
