Evidence that a maternal "junk food" diet during pregnancy and lactation can reduce muscle force in offspring
Journal Article
Bayol, S. A. M., Macharia, R. G., Farrington, S. J., Simbi, B. H., & Stickland, N. C. Evidence that a maternal "junk food" diet during pregnancy and lactation can reduce muscle force in offspring. European Journal of Nutrition, 48(1), 62-65. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00394-008-0760-5

Obesity is a multi-factorial condition generally attributed to an unbalanced diet and lack of exercise. Recent evidence suggests that maternal malnutrition during pregnancy and lactation can also contribute to the development of obesity in offspring....

Offspring from mothers fed a 'junk food' diet in pregnancy and lactation exhibit exacerbated adiposity that is more pronounced in females
Journal Article
Bayol, S. A. M., Simbi, B. H., Bertrand, J. A., & Stickland, N. C. Offspring from mothers fed a 'junk food' diet in pregnancy and lactation exhibit exacerbated adiposity that is more pronounced in females. Journal of Physiology, 586(13), 3219-3230. https://doi.org/10.1113/jphysiol.2008.153817

We have shown previously that a maternal junk food diet during pregnancy and lactation plays a role in predisposing offspring to obesity. Here we show that rat offspring born to mothers fed the same junk food diet rich in fat, sugar and salt develop...
