Individuals with mothers who were overweight during pregnancy and nursing may face a higher risk of adult obesity, as early overnutrition can reprogram their developing brains to desire unhealthy foods, according to a Molecular Metabolism study conducted by Rutgers researchers. Rutgers researcher
A Rutgers study found that individuals born to overweight mothers during pregnancy and nursing may be more prone to obesity due to early overnutrition rewiring their brains to crave unhealthy food. The study offers insights for potential brain-altering drugs to reduce cravings for unhealthy food and suggests that such individuals can maintain healthy weights by eating healthy foods and avoiding junk food.
The study may also help inform the development of brain-altering drugs that reduce cravings for unhealthy food. Their weights converged after all the pups received several weeks of unlimited healthy chow, but they diverged again when the researchers offered them constant access to the high-fat diet. All the mice overate, but the offspring of overweight mothers overate significantly more than the others.
