This volume offers the most comprehensive coverage on fetal
programming. Chapters are written by authors of international
and national standing, leaders in the field and trendsetters.
The clinical relevance of the current research is emphasized
in each chapter, which also contains key points, key words,
and concise summaries for ease of learning. Fetal programming
affects conditions in the immediate postnatal period, as well
as in later life and adulthood. These conditions include
cardiovascular disease, frank hypertension, stroke,
dyslipidemia, coagulopathy, increased insulin
resistance-metabolic syndrome, type-2 diabetes, leukemia,
testicular cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, polycystic
ovary syndrome, precocious puberty, impaired immune function,
renal disease, lung disease, and osteoporosis.
Neuropathologies, behavioral and mental deficiencies,
schizophrenia, and depression have also been reported in
adults who were exposed to nutritional inadequacies in utero.

Diet, Nutrition and Fetal Programming provides an overview on
the effects of fetal programming on disease, and
comprehensive looks at maternal nutrition factors and fetal
programming effects on brain and behavior, and physiology and
disease. It also provides an in depth look at specific
nutrient restrictions and supplements on physiology and
disease, the effects of maternal disease on fetal
programming, mechanisms of programming, and a special section
on the international aspects and policies on fetal
programming.
