The period of gestation and lactation is crucial for fetal and neonatal development. The maternal diet during this period has a direct influence on the development and health of offspring with different responses between males and females. The high-fat maternal diet (HF) can cause resistance to the action of hormones such as leptin, insulin, and adiponectin, possibly associated with the i…
Recently, a high-fat diet has been associated with hypothalamic low-grade inflammation, and dysregulation of energy and metabolic control that can lead to the development of obesity. In this process, the connection between gut and brain seems to be involved in the alterations that lead to the development of chronic diseases. Considering the evidence that an inadequate maternal diet, and m…
Introduction: Obesity is established as a public health problem and requires interventions that allow combating them. Installation of chronic subclinical inflammation and epigenetic alterations are related to pathology of this multifactorial disease. Thus the search for foods able to combat and prevent these diseases became necessary. In this sense, the fruit of juçara palm seems to be a …
The brown adipose tissue (BAT) regulates energy expenditure via thermogenesis by uncoupling protein 1 (UPC-1). We investigated the effect of the maternal diet enriched with trans-fatty acids (TFAs) in combination or not with jussara fruit supplementation on the 21 day old offspring. Specifically, we looked at the proinflammatory state and the expression of UCP-1 in the offsprings' BAT. F…

Recent WHO data show that chronic non-communicable diseases such as Obesity represent the main cause of mortality worldwide. In view of this, an incessant search for nutritional intervention strategies has grown, highlighting the models of Low Carbohydrate and High-Fat diet (LCHF). However, the processes involved in the weight loss process, as well as the impact of the type of fatty acid …
Global incidence of obesity and its associated diseases has been increasing dramatically in recent decades, including among women of reproductive age. Maternal nutritional status and dietary patterns have been strongly associated with the risk for the development of metabolic disorders in the offspring throughout life, likely due to the foetal programming and epigenetic regulation. In thi…
Inadequate maternal nutrition as well as the paternal nutrition, can have an impact on the health of future generations. Obesity is capable of activating a systemic inflammatory response that alters the quality of parental gametes, the uterine environment and breast milk, programming the pattern of health and disease throughout the life of the offspring. Studies indicate that obese mother…

Maternal obesity prior to or during gestation and/or lactation leads to developmental programming resulting in obesity-related metabolic disorders in adult offspring, such as insulin sensitivity. The relationship between the maternal environment and the offspring phenotype during life has been investigated through an epigenetic approach and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as key p…
Maternal obesity during pregnancy and/or lactation is associated with an increased risk of obesity and related metabolic disorders in the offspring throughout life. Molecular mechanisms associated with maternal obesity in the offspring, are still not completely understood. Recently, several groups are studying the effects of dysregulated miRNAs expression on the onset of a variety of meta…
Obesity involves chronic subclinical inflammation mainly caused by the recruitment of monocytes and activation of macrophages in adipose tissue. As part of the innate immune system, these cells are essential for homeostasis. A common inflammatory mechanism activated is the toll-like receptors 2 and 4 pathways. They usually react to bacterial lipids signaling through NF-kB and PPARs, produ…
Maternal obesity during pregnancy and/or lactation is associated with an increased risk of obesity and related metabolic disorders including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the offspring throughout life. Molecular mechanisms associated with maternal obesity and onset of the NAFLD in the offspring, are still not completely understood. Recently, several groups are studying the …
