Altered vertebral and femoral bone structure in juvenile offspring of microswine subject to maternal low protein nutritional challenge

Abstract Epidemiological studies suggest skeletal growth is programmed during intrauterine and early postnatal life. We hypothesize that bone development may be altered by maternal diet and have investigated this using a microswine model of maternal protein restriction (MPR). Mothers were fed a cont...
