TL;DR: Maternal exercise during pregnancy differentially regulated mTOR and nutrient transporters in a diet‐ and sex‐specific manner, which likely aimed to improve late gestational placental growth and neonatal survival.

TL;DR: This study aimed to determine whether the reduced nephron endowment in Restricted offspring is due to delayed glomerular formation and dysregulation of renal genes regulating branching morphogenesis, apoptosis or leptin signalling and to investigate whether cross‐fostering growth‐restricted offspring onto Control mothers could improveglomerular maturation and restore renal gene abundance.

TL;DR: This review describes the first systematic evaluation of sampling methodologies used in studies reporting HM composition and highlights the wide range of collection methods applied in the field.

TL;DR: The data suggests that pregnancy ameliorates the enhanced peripheral insulin sensitivity in growth restricted females and has deleterious effects for hepatic insulin sensitivity, regardless of maternal birth weight.

TL;DR: Damage to the migratory scaffold (Bergmann glial fibers) and alterations in the genes that influence migration (Trop2 and Astn1) may underlie the deficits in postnatal cerebellar development following IUGR.
