Maternal protein-energy and energy-restricted diets during lactation possibly could program folliculogenesis and the ovarian expression of leptin and its different isoform receptors in rats.
Both protein-energy and energy-restricted diets during lactation program the ovarian function of the rat offspring, leading to a reduction of folliculogenesis, possibly as the consequence of the altered expression of leptin and its isoform receptor genes.
