Aggressive Behavioral Phenotype in Intrauterine Growth Restricted (IUGR) Baboons Exposed to Moderate Nutrient Restriction Early in Development
The thrifty phenotype hypothesis proposes reduced nutrition alters the trajectory of development of metabolic regulatory systems to produce a phenotype better fitted to an environment of decreased later-life nutrient availability. Because organisms have physiological mechanisms for coping with poor …

The effect of maternal nutrition on offspring gene regulation via epigenetic modulation
Maternal nutrition during pregnancy is an important intrauterine factor that results in persistent alteration of the offspring epigenome and associates with health outcome later in life. Both DNA methylation and histone modifications have been reported in a range of rat tissues including liver, …

Phenotypic variation and thermoregulation of the human hand
… may be attributed to cold adaptation or a thrifty phenotype mechanism. The current study provides empirical evidence to support the link between surface area-to-volume ratio, thermodynamic principles and ecogeographical patterns in human hand morphology. However, this research also …
