Fetal and Early Postnatal Programming and its Influence on Adult Health

CRC Press.

Barker and his associates suggested a possible link between fetal nutrition and the development of disease risk in adult life. Including the early postnatal period, during which a newborn continues to grow rapidly influenced by environmental factors, the book suggests that individuals are subject to risks for more than just the fetal period. This book will cover several interrelated aspects of cellular programming related to early nutrition and this potential global health problem.
