offspring in adulthood. Results of a series of studies demonstrate the powerful influence of
the mother's metabolic state on whether the emerging adult develops obesity and
hyperinsulinemia. Importantly, these attributes can be passed on to the next generation
nongenetically and can be reversed and prevented.
