Article Synopsis
- Research indicates that a mother's high-fat diet (HFD) during pregnancy and lactation may negatively impact the metabolic health of male offspring, even if those offspring are weaned onto a normal diet.
- Male mice born to HFD-fed mothers showed increased body fat and elevated levels of glucose, insulin, and cholesterol at weaning.
- By early adulthood, these mice experienced significant hepatic inflammation and insulin resistance, despite having comparable body weights to offspring from normal-chow-fed mothers.
