Article Synopsis
- Maternal exercise (ME) has been shown to positively impact infant metabolic health, but most understanding comes from animal studies.
- Research on infant mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) reveals that ME enhances MSC mitochondrial function and insulin signaling, leading to improved energy use.
- Infants of mothers who exercised were found to be leaner at 1 month, and there was an inverse relationship between MSC respiration and infant fat levels at 6 months.
Objective: To examine the effect of varying fatty acid composition in a HFM on eNO, pulmonary function, and airway resistance.
Methods: Fifteen individuals [6 M/9 F; 21.9 ± 1.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic diets rich in saturated fat (SF) and omega-6 fatty acids (O6FAs) lead to increased fasting triglycerides (TRGs) and glucose (GLU), while omega-3 fatty acids (O3FAs) may offer heart protection.
- A study involving 15 participants tested the impact of smoothies with different fat compositions on post-meal TRGs, GLU, and a new measure called the Metabolic Load Index (MLI).
- Results showed that SF smoothies significantly raised TRGs and MLI compared to O3FA smoothies, suggesting SF may increase metabolic load more than O3FAs after eating.
Context: Maternal exercise positively influences pregnancy outcomes and metabolic health in progeny; however, data regarding the effects of different modes of prenatal exercise on offspring metabolic phenotype is lacking.
Objective: To elucidate the effects of different modes of maternal exercise on offspring umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) metabolism.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
