Intrauterine exposure to a maternal low protein diet reduces adult bone mass and alters growth plate morphology in rats.
Epidemiological studies suggest that poor growth during fetal life and infancy is associated with decreased bone mass in adulthood. However, theses observations have not, to date, been corroborated in animal models. To address this issue we evaluated the influence of maternal protein restriction on...
