| Research Abstract |
In order to clarify the role of maternal excess fat intake in the fetal programming, we investigated the effects of a maternal high-fat diet before and during pregnancy on blood pressure and glucose and lipid metabolism in offspring. As a result, a maternal high-fat diet before and during pregnancy predisposes their offspring to hypertension and to the disturbance of glucose and lipid metabolism in adult life.
