"Obesity is naturally a
worldwide disease. Here, all of us discovered that maternal stress,
psychologically and metabolically, increases abdominal obesity and glucose
accuracy within the next generation in a sex-specific manner, and that is
mediated by the NPY system in visceral fat," said Ruijun Han, an examiner related
to the work from Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology, Stress
Physiology Center at the University of Minnesota.
In
order to make this discovery, Young and professionals fed different teams of
pregnant mice a low protein diet in the course of pregnancy and lactation; a
normal healthy proteins diet in the course of pregnancy and lactation; or a low
protein diet only during pregnancy. After weaning, all of the pups were
completely fed high fat diets for 18 several weeks, and metabolic parameters and
expression of NPY structure in periphery bodily tissues were really watched and
examined.
