Maternal Low Quality Protein Diet Alters Plasma Amino Acid Concentrations of Weaning Rats

摘要: Several studies have indicated the influence of a maternal low protein diet on fetus. However, effect quality fetal growth and development is largely unknown. Wistar rats (11 weeks old) were mated maintained either chow with 20% casein (n = 6) as control group (C), or wheat gluten 7) experimental (WG) through gestation lactation. Maternal body weights similar in both groups throughout study. Birth not influenced by offspring during lactation between groups. Offspring's plasma amino acid profiles showed that methionine, glutamine lysine significantly lower aspartic acid, ornithine glycine-proline higher WG. Plant based comprises an important part intake developing countries. It well-known these diets can be inadequate terms essential acids. The current study shows differential effects offspring's Future will examine further aspects development.
