Maternal high fat diet compromises survival and modulates lung development of offspring, and impairs lung function of dams (female mice)

Abstract Background Epidemiological studies have identified strong relationships between maternal obesity and offspring respiratory dysfunction; however, the causal direction is not known. We tested whether maternal obesity alters respiratory function of offspring in early life. Methods Female C57Bl...
