Abstract
Although knowledge of the mechanisms involved in the re-programming process might allow new strategies for early prevention of long term metabolic disturbances to be developed, the pathophysiological link between fetal growth impairment and adult diseases is still unclear.This publication has 39 references indexed in Scilit:
