Maternal oxidative stress is harmful for embryonic, fetal, and placental development. The aim of this study was to investigate whether methyl donor supplementation during gestation effectively ameliorates maternal and placenta oxidative stress up to offspring.Fifty-six Landrace × Yorkshire sows were randomly allocated to receive one of the following four diets during gestation: control diet (CON);...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of food restriction followed by controlled refeeding on glucose tolerance in pigs exposed to intrauterine malnutrition.Pregnant sows (n = 11) were assigned to either a control (C) group or an undernutrition (U) group (75% of C) during gestation. At postnatal 68 d, the offspring (n = 16) were placed on either a cafeteria feeding (CF) group or a food-restricted...
Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide problem. Although vitamin D has been implicated in muscle development, little is known about the effects of maternal vitamin D status on the muscle development of offspring. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of improving maternal vitamin D status by dietary 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25 OHD3) supplementation on prenatal and postnatal skeletal muscle development...
It has been suggested that maternal nutrition during gestation is involved in the offspring's intestinal development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of maternal nutrition on digestive and absorptive function of offspring at both birth and weaning with pig as model.Eighteen primiparous Landrace × Yorkshire gilts (ages 253 ± 9 d; body weight 148.6 ± 6.9 kg) were allocated to a normal...
The onset of puberty in females has been occurring earlier over the past decades, presumably as a result of improved nutrition in developed countries. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for the early attainment of puberty as a result of nutrition fortification remain largely unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hormone and gene expression changes in prepubescent...
The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of maternal dietary energy types on the mRNA expressions of the placental nutrient transporter and intrauterine fetal growth and to examine whether altered intrauterine fetal growth could be associated with different gene expressions relating to fetal energy metabolism and DNA methylation.Seventy-two 3-mo-old rats were allocated to one of...
