Sub: People are programmed to be fat, long before they are born.
A high fat diet even before you were born might have programmed you to a life of over-eating. A new research suggests that eating a high-fat diet in pregnancy may cause changes in the fetal brain that lead to obesity early in life.
Tests on rats showed those born to mothers fed a high-fat diet had many more brain cells specialized to produce appetite-stimulating proteins.
Even before the birth, the high-fat pups had a much larger number of brain cells that produce orexigenicpeptides –and they kept them throughout their lives. Their mother’s high-fat appeared to stimulate production of cells, and their subsequent migration to parts of the brain linked to obesity.
Best wishes,
Sunder Thadani.
