Fetal Programming – gesundes Altern beginnt im Mutterleib

Zusammenfassung

Malnutrition im Mutterleib sowie paternale Fehlernährung begünstigen das Auftreten des metabolischen Syndroms und seiner Folgeerkrankungen im Laufe des Lebens. Nach derzeitigem Wissensstand liegen der fetalen Programmierung epigenetische Modifikationen zugrunde. Ein protektiver Einfluss von Antioxidanzien deutet sich an.
