Maternal programming of piglet microbiomes
Understanding how maternal factors in early life influence piglet microbiomes is key to unlocking the potential for manipulation of these factors to positively influence pig health and production without the need to resort to individualized interventions such as dietary antimicrobials later in …

Autophagy: activation, function and regulation by a protein restricted diet during pregnancy and lactation
… on the mechanisms behind the effects of a maternal low protein diet on diseases in offspring. However, thus far, the mechanisms behind the physiological and molecular adaptations in the mother in response to protein restriction during pregnancy and lactation are not well understood. Because …

The neuroendocrine and molecular mechanisms underlying stress-induced maternal effects in the threespine stickleback
Non-genetic maternal effects occur when offspring phenotype is influenced non-genetically by a mother’s phenotype. Exposure of mothers to external stressors, for example, can influence the expression of a wide array of offspring traits essential for survival, including growth, morphology, and …

Epigenetics, a signal sensor of dietary components, is involved in the hepatic gene regulation
… are carried over generations [1, 2]. Therefore, maternal dietary factors may profoundly characterize the phenotype of subsequent generations and consequently contribute to the early onset of chronic disease and metabolic disorder [3]. Sustained high fat feeding leads to obesity and metabolic …
