Maternal obesity alters adiposity and monoamine function in genetically predisposed offspring.
The impact of maternal obesity on brain monoamine function in adult offspring of dams selectively bred to express diet-induced obesity (DIO) or diet resistance (DR) was assessed by making dams obese or lean during gestation and lactation. After 12 wk on chow and 4 wk on a 31% fat diet, offspring hypothalamic nucleus size and [(3)H]nisoxetine binding to norepinephrine transporters (NET) and [(3)...
متن کاملActivation of the maternal immune system during pregnancy alters behavioral development of rhesus monkey offspring.
BACKGROUND Maternal infection during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of schizophrenia and autism in the offspring. Supporting this correlation, experimentally activating the maternal immune system during pregnancy in rodents produces offspring with abnormal brain and behavioral development. We have developed a nonhuman primate model to bridge the gap between clinical populations ...
متن کاملMaternal smoking during pregnancy and childhood obesity.
A recent cohort study suggested that maternal smoking during pregnancy might be a risk factor for childhood obesity. Data from the obligatory school entry health examination in six Bavarian (Germany) public health offices in 1999-2000 were used to assess the relation between maternal smoking during pregnancy and childhood obesity (n = 6,483 German children aged 5.00-6.99 years). A body mass ind...
متن کاملMechanisms of Maternal Immune Tolerance During Pregnancy
Throughout their evolution, animals have developed mechanisms which protect them against parasites or infections by detecting and destroying foreign biological material within their own bodies. These mechanisms for excluding “non-self” biological materials whilst at the same time maintaining the integrity of the “self” have evolved for hundreds of millions of years into a highly complex body sy...
متن کاملMaternal Cardiovascular Function in Normal Pregnancy
Understanding cardiovascular physiological adaptation to pregnancy is particularly important in elucidating the pathophysiology and management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy—still one of the most common causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Functional changes of the heart in pregnancy have been widely investigated during the last few decades with relatively inconsistent ...
