Journal ArticleDOI
Fetal origins of hyperphagia, obesity, and hypertension and postnatal amplification by hypercaloric nutrition
TL;DR: This study is the first to demonstrate that profound adult hyperphagia is a consequence of fetal programming and a key contributing factor in adult pathophysiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neonatal Leptin Treatment Reverses Developmental Programming

TL;DR: The complete normalization of the programmed phenotype by neonatal leptin treatment implies that leptin has effects that reverse the prenatal adaptations resulting from relative fetal undernutrition, and is potentially reversible by an intervention late in the phase of developmental plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radioimmunoassay for insulin-like growth factor-I: solutions to some potential problems and pitfalls
TL;DR: High correlations, with a slope close to unity, of IGF-I values obtained in the RIA using the AEC or G75 extraction for plasma from different species including adult and fetal sheep, rat, mouse and man are observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Maternal Undernutrition in the Rat Leads to Delayed Postnatal Growth and Elevated Blood Pressure of Offspring
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that nutritional deprivation in the pregnant rat leads to changes in postnatal allometric growth patterns, to delayed catch-up growth, and to elevated blood pressure in adulthood.
