Epidemiological studies on historical and contemporary populations indicate that the uterine environment is a major factor contributing to later health and disease in the resulting offspring. These findings are supported by experimental studies which... Read More about Nutritional programming of foetal development: Endocrine mediators and long-term outcomes for cardiovascular health.
