Maternal Western-style diet affects offspring islet composition and function in a non-human primate model of maternal over-nutrition

Maternal Western-style diet affects offspring islet composition and function in a non-human primate model of maternal over-nutrition

Objective: In humans, offspring of women who are overweight or obese are more likely to develop metabolic disease later in life. Studies in lower animal species reveal that a calorically-dense maternal diet is associated with alterations in islet cell mass and function. The long-term effects of mate...
