SUMMARY:Microbiology seminar: Associate Professor Mike Garratt, Department of Anatomy
DESCRIPTION:Maternal diet during pregnancy and intergenerational effects on metabolic health This seminar presents findings from mouse studies investigating how maternal macronutrient intake shapes metabolic health in mothers and their offspring. Using the geometric framework for nutrition, we assessed how varying protein, carbohydrate, and fat intake during pregnancy influences maternal metabolic health, as well as fetal and placental development. Long-term assessments of offspring further reveal how nutritional conditions experienced during pregnancy can influence metabolic health of offspring when they become adults. Together, these studies highlight pregnancy as a critical window in which maternal nutrition has lasting consequences for the health of both mother and offspring.
