Epigenetics and Nutrition: Molecular Mechanisms and Tissue Adaptation in Developmental Programming
Biological mechanisms regulating normal growth, development, and nutrient utilization are programmed in utero for postnatal growth and adult function. An increasing body of evidence shows that epigenetic mecha...

Nutritional Regulation of Embryonic Survival, Growth, and Development
Maternal nutritional status affects and, therefore, . These effects are apparent very early in pregnancy, which is when most embryonic losses occur. Maternal nutritional status has been shown to affect co...

Open AccessCerebrum, liver, and muscle regulatory networks uncover maternal nutrition effects in developmental programming of beef cattle during early pregnancy
The molecular basis underlying fetal programming in response to maternal nutrition remains unclear. Herein, we investigated the regulatory relationships between genes in fetal cerebrum, liver, and muscle tissu...

Open AccessMammary gland growth and vascularity at parturition and during lactation in primiparous ewes fed differing levels of selenium and nutritional plane during gestation
Objectives were to examine the effects of selenium (Se) supply and maternal nutritional plane during gestation on mammary gland growth, cellular proliferation, and vascularity at parturition and d 20 of lactat...
