maternal nutrition (fat and antioxidant intakes) is related to fetal programming of oxidative stress

Abstract

the developement origins hypothesis proposes that the pathogenise of many diet-related chronic deseases begins not in adulthood,but during early developpment several recent reports including some from our laboratory suggest that maternal nutritional state is important in promoting metabolic alterations in offspring.the aim of this study is to determinate programmed oxidative stress in newborns of mothers having low polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant intakes
