Maternal Obesity and MicroRNAs in Breast Milk: Implications for Infant Developmental Programming

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review explores the relationship between maternal obesity and alterations in the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in breast milk, highlighting how these changes may influence the developmental programming of the infant. Evidence suggests that maternal obesity can affect the bioactive composition of breast milk, including miRNA profiles ...
