Maternal protein restriction affects postnatal growth and the expression of key proteins involved in lifespan regulation in mice.
We previously reported that maternal protein restriction in rodents influenced the rate of growth in early life and ultimately affected longevity. Low birth weight caused by maternal protein restriction followed by catch-up growth (recuperated animals) was associated with shortened lifespan whereas...
