Posted by Josh Barney-Virginia January 29, 2014 Futurity Health and Medicine Source: University of Virginia http://www.futurity.org/can-exercise-keep-moms-passing-diabetes/ . .Exercise during pregnancy can help protect the unborn offspring of obese mothers from diabetes and other health problems in later life, research with mice suggests.
.Researchers have determined that exercise during pregnancy prevented a damaging epigenetic effect of the mothers obesityan effect believed to put chemical marks on genes and lead to diabetes in the offspring. The researchers identified the specific gene involved, providing an important target for developing drugs that would prevent the undesired effect.
.While the researchers were focused primarily on diabetes, the findings could have important implications for many other conditions.
.Disease transmission from parent to offspring is not limited to diabetes but appears to be the case with many, many diseases, says Zhen Yan of University of Virginias Robert M. Berne Cardiovascular Research Center.
.There is accumulating evidence suggesting diseases ranging from atherosclerosis to diabetes to schizophreniaall these diseases we talk about these daysare influenced by maternal condition.
.The study was based on the idea of developmental programmingthat the condition and behavior of the mothers affect the health of their offspring not just when theyre born, but throughout their life.
