Prenatal Food Restriction Induces a Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenocortical Axis-associated Neuroendocrine Metabolic Programmed Alteration in Adult Offspring Rats

These results suggest that prenatal food restriction alters HPA axis-associated neuroendocrine metabolism in adult offspring fed a high-fat diet, which may originate from the intrauterine programming and increase the susceptibility to adult metabolic diseases.
