Maternal Diabetes and Postnatal High-Fat Diet on Pregnant Offspring
Maternal diabetes-induced fetal programming predisposes offspring to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity in adulthood. However, lifelong health and disease trajectories depend on several factors and nutrition is one of the main ones.

Fetal programming and adult health [PDF]
Abstract Low birthweight is now known to be associated with increased rates of coronary heart disease and the related disorders stroke, hypertension and non-insulin dependent diabetes.

Fetal programming in meat production [PDF]
Nutrient fluctuations during the fetal stage affects fetal development, which has long-term impacts on the production efficiency and quality of meat. During the early development, a pool of mesenchymal progenitor cells proliferate and then diverge into either myogenic or adipogenic/fibrogenic lineages.

Fetal Programming of Brain and Behavior through Ionizing Radiation
For decades, the Barker hypothesis and thrifty phenotype hypothesis have driven researchers to explore the development of metabolic syndrome through fetal programming.

Fetal Programming and Metabolic Syndrome [PDF]
Metabolic syndrome is reaching epidemic proportions, particularly in developing countries. In this review, we explore the concept—based on the developmental-origin-of-health-and-disease hypothesis—that reprogramming during critical times of fetal life can lead to metabolic syndrome in adulthood.

Fetal programming and epigenetics [PDF]
Accumulating evidence suggests that the intrauterine environment can have an impact on long-term offspring health, so-called �fetal programming�. A number of environmental stressors have been studied in humans including maternal nutrition, smoking, substance misuse and mental illness.

Maternal inflammation at 0.7 gestation in ewes leads to intrauterine growth restriction and impaired glucose metabolism in offspring at 30 d of age [PDF]
Fetal programming associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) leads to lifelong deficits in growth and metabolic function (Hales and Barker, 2013).

Maternal corticotropin-releasing hormone is associated with LEP DNA methylation at birth and in childhood: an epigenome-wide study in Project Viva [PDF]
BackgroundCorticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) plays a central role in regulating the secretion of cortisol which controls a wide range of biological processes. Fetuses overexposed to cortisol have increased risks of disease in later life.

Placental CRH as a Signal of Pregnancy Adversity and Impact on Fetal Neurodevelopment
Early life is a period of considerable plasticity and vulnerability and insults during that period can disrupt the homeostatic equilibrium of the developing organism, resulting in adverse developmental programming and enhanced susceptibility to disease ...
