| Research Abstract |
Maternal under-nutrition and over-nutrition during the intrauterine and early neonatal period have been implicated for disease risk in offspring during adulthood. The calorie restriction exhibited poor glycemic control and raised cholesterol levels, key determinants of metabolic risk, more than the high caloric group. Global DNA methylation data indicated that the high fat diet and calorie restriction may have increased and reduced gene activity in the liver methylome, respectively.
