There is a documented link between fetal nutrition and the development of disease risk in adult life. Including the early postnatal period, during which a newborn continues to grow rapidly influenced by environmental factors, suggests that individuals are subject to risks for more than just the fetal period. Fetal and Early Postnatal Programming and its Influence on Adult Health focuses on interrelated aspects of cellular programming related to early nutrition and this potential global health problem.


Features:
— Reviews the conceptual foundation of early theories of the impact prenatal and early postnatal nutrition on adult health
— Explores the ways maternal health impacts fetal development
— Examines the consequences of poor fetal nutrition on postnatal health and development
— Reviews the adult health consequences of fetal and postnatal challenges
— Outlines possible therapies for improving maternal health and thus improving fetal and postnatal outcomes
