Genes and Nutrition, 9(1), Article 365. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12263-013-0365-3

Nutrition in early life is a determinant of lifelong physiological and metabolic function. Diseases that are associated with ageing may, therefore, have their antecedents in maternal nutrition during pregnancy and lactation. Rat mothers were fed eith...
