Offspring predisposition to obesity due to maternal ‐diet‐induced obesity in rats is preventable by dietary normalization before mating
ConclusionRemoval of CD in obese rats before gestation, although without complete reversion of body weight excess, may prevent the expected detrimental effects in offspring associated to an excess fat accumulation in adulthood and the related metabolic disturbances.
Dietary normalization in rats made obese by cafeteria diet feeding for 1 month before gestation, even without a complete reversal in excess weight and adiposity, prevents the harmful effects on offspring associated with maternal obesity.
