The Deep Correlation between Energy Metabolism and Reproduction: A View on the Effects of Nutrition for Women Fertility

摘要: In female mammals, mechanisms have been developed, throughout evolution, to integrate environmental, nutritional and hormonal cues in order guarantee reproduction favorable energetic conditions inhibit it case of food scarcity. This metabolic strategy could be an advantage nutritionally poor environments, but nowadays is affecting women’s health. The unlimited availability nutrients, association with reduced energy expenditure, leads alterations many pathways impairments the finely tuned inter-relation between metabolism reproduction, thereby fertility. Many states influence reproductive health being under- over-weight, obesity strenuous physical activity are all that alter profiles specific hormones, such as insulin adipokines, thus impairing women Furthermore, classes nutrients might affect fertility by acting on particular signaling pathways. Dietary fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins food-associated components (such endocrine disruptors) per se physiological activities their unbalanced intake, both quantitative qualitative terms, impair homeostasis premenopausal women. Even though we far from identifying a “fertility diet”, lifestyle dietary interventions represent promising invaluable manage infertility
