Effects of Epicatechin on the Expression of MyomiRs-31, -133, -136, -206, -296, and -486 in the Skeletal Muscle of the Offspring of Obese Mothers.

Specific myogenic microRNAs termed "myomiRNAs" are involved in skeletal muscle development and regeneration, and an obesogenic environment in utero may affect these processes. The present study aimed to determine whether this environment induced variations in the expression levels of myomiRs-31, -133, -136, -206, and -296 and whether the administration of (-)-epicatechin (Epi), an exercise mimetic, could modify these variations. Rat Wistar male offspring from control mothers (C) or obese mothers (MO) were treated (C+Epi and MO+Epi) or not treated with Epi (C and MO).

- *Methods involved collecting nasopharyngeal swabs from 133 mothers and 131 neonates, along with 140 colostrum samples, to check for SARS-CoV-2 using qPCR.
- *Results showed that 12.5% of asymptomatic pregnant women and 8.3% of neonates tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, indicating possible perinatal transmission, although no significant associations were found with maternal or newborn metadata.
