PREGNANCY: How Maternal Nutrition Affects FetusFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 25 Jul 2009 14:30:13 -0500 (CDT)
Timeframe before conception may be linked to disease later in life Mothers' health in the days and weeks prior to becoming pregnant may determine the health of offspring much later in life, according to results of studies reported at the annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Reproduction, which is taking place July 18 to 22 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh. These studies demonstrate that maternal nutrition, protein intake and level of fat in the diet may cause epigenetic changes in the developing fetus that can have long-term health consequences. Summaries of their findings are as follows: -Too Much of a Sweet Thing? Maternal Diabetes and Embryo Development -Take Your Vitamins Before Becoming Pregnant -Low Protein Diet May Lead to "Jumpy" Offspring -Beyond Genetics: How Dormant Memories Can Impact Later-Life Events http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/158397.php Pregnancy/Birth: http://www.obgyn.net/pregnancy-birth/pregnancy-birth.asp Best Regards, Hope Waltman, WHF Moderator http://www.hopeforfibroids.org
