We hypothesized that this may result from poor nutrition during early life exerting permanent effects on the structure and function of key metabolic organ systems. To study the long-term impact of early-life undernutrition on susceptibility to visceral adiposity, we used a rat model of maternal protein restriction (MPR) in whi ...[more]
