Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.

Interplay of early-life nutritional programming on obesity, inflammation and epigenetic outcomes [PDF]
, 2012 The huge health burden accompanying obesity is not only attributable to inadequate dietary and sedentary lifestyle habits, since a predisposing genetic make-up and other putative determinants concerning easier weight gain and fat deposition have been ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

The Impact of External Factors on the Epigenome: In Utero and over Lifetime [PDF]
, 2016 Epigenetic marks change during fetal development, adult life, and aging. Some changes play an important role in the establishment and regulation of gene programs, but others seem to occur without any apparent physiological role.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) impacts on succinate metabolism and angiogenesis in the umbilical cord endothelium. (Left Panel) Succinate levels increase in both maternal and fetal circulation at delivery, with higher concentrations observed in GDM pregnancies compared to controls during late gestation.

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Scrotal circumference (SC) is a key reproductive indicator in beef cattle and an important predictor of male puberty and correlated female fertility. In this study, we evaluated young Nellore bulls raised under combinations of pasture and feedlot environments and modeled SC using a “double” reaction norm model. Additive genetic variance for SC

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This Mendelian randomization study reveals that normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) causally leads to lower levels of the neurotrophins CNTF and GDNF. This finding provides new genetic evidence for the role of neurotrophic factors in NPH, suggesting potential avenues for further research into prevention and treatment strategies.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.The central paradox of thermal processing of foods. (A) The application of heat (e.g., frying, baking, grilling) to food initiates complex chemical reactions, most notably the Maillard reaction and thermal degradation of protein, lipids, and carbohydrate. (B) These reactions create a desirable sensory experience characterized by enticing aromas, golden‐
