BMC Biology, 22(1), Article 207. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-024-01992-0

Background: The importance of parental diet in relation to eventual offspring health is increasing in prominence due to the increased frequency of parents of reproductive age consuming poor diets. Whilst maternal health and offspring outcome have bee... Read More about Paternal undernutrition and overnutrition modify semen composition and preimplantation embryo developmental kinetics in mice.

Sub-optimal paternal diet at the time of mating disrupts maternal adaptations to pregnancy in the late gestation mouse (2024)

Sub-optimal paternal diet at the time of mating disrupts maternal adaptations to pregnancy in the late gestation mouse. Nutrients, 16(12), Article 1879. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu16121879

Pregnancy represents a stage during which maternal physiology and homeostatic regulation undergo dramatic change and adaptation. The fundamental purpose of these adaptations is to ensure the survival of her offspring through adequate nutrient provisi...
