  • Title: How growth due to infant nutrition influences obesity and later disease risk.
    Author: Brands B, Demmelmair H, Koletzko B, EarlyNutrition Project.
    Journal: Acta Paediatr; 2014 Jun; 103(6):578-85. PubMed ID: 24521522.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Infant nutrition has a major impact on immediate outcomes and long-term health and later disease risks, such as obesity and related disorders, a phenomenon referred to as 'metabolic programming'. This review discusses the currently postulated hypotheses and mechanisms investigated by the EarlyNutrition project. CONCLUSION: Rapid weight gain in the first 2 years of life, most notably mediated by diary protein, affects the insulin-like growth factor metabolic pathways. Epigenetic processes seem to play a role.
