Effect of a mixture of bovine milk oligosaccharides, <i><scp>L</scp>actobacillus rhamnosus </i><scp>NCC</scp>4007 and long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids on catch‐up growth of intra‐uterine growth‐restricted rats

Abstract

The nutritional intervention promoted catch-up growth and normalized excessive adiposity in IUGR animals at short-term. The benefits did not extend after a period of HFD. IUGR and early diet had gender-dependent effects on hepatic gene expression.
