Summary: This article systematically reviewed the effects of maternal exercise on offspring obesity outcomes in adulthood. The results showed that maternal exercise contributes to improved glucose tolerance, reduced insulin concentration, and lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels in adult offspring in mice. However, in rats, maternal exercise leads to a higher body weight in adult offspring, which might be attributed to the high-fat diet of offspring after weaning. These findings further support the metabolic beneficial role of maternal exercise on offspring in adulthood, although the issue of translating the results to the human population is still yet to be addressed.

Summary: This study revealed that CcsA functions as a chaperone for SodA in A. fumigatus, and the conserved CXC motif within CcsA is crucial for its interaction with SodA and the oxidative stress response mediated by the CcsA-SodA complex. The findings provide new insights into how fungal pathogens adapt to oxidative stress via the CcsA-SodA complex.

Summary: Maternal parity may impact offspring growth, and it is hypothesized that vertically transmitted microbiota could be one potential mechanism. Offspring born to low parity females grew larger than their counterparts, potentially due to lower early life diversity and dominance of B. fragilis.

Summary: This study verified the oxidative stress remediation effects of exogenous superoxide dismutase and its therapeutic role against hepatic inflammation. The supplementation significantly restored the hepatic parameters and inhibited the expression of interleukin 1β and interleukin 6 in mice with hepatic inflammation. Transcriptomic analysis showed that superoxide dismutase regulated the expression of specific genes, alleviating oxidative stress damage and mediating liver cell apoptosis. These findings lay a foundation for further investigating the mechanism by which superoxide dismutase alleviates hepatic disease.

Summary: This study found that maternal metformin treatment during pregnancy can improve placental oxidative stress and enhance the expression levels of glucose transporters in offspring through AMPK activation. It was also shown that maternal metformin treatment can ameliorate offspring fatty liver caused by maternal high-fat diet, with effects observed into adulthood. Further validation is needed to develop maternal metformin therapy for clinical applications.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between prenatal depression in mothers and changes in placental and circulatory lipids, and how these changes impact the socio-emotional outcomes of offspring. Specific lipid species were found to be inversely associated with depressive symptoms, with lower levels predicting poorer socio-emotional outcomes in children. These findings highlight the importance of maternal-fetal lipid cross-talk in linking maternal mental health to that of the offspring.

Summary: Low maternal socioeconomic status and education level were associated with an increased risk of congenital heart diseases and lower prevalence of folic acid supplementation. Folic acid intake partially mediated the effects of low income and education on the risk of congenital heart diseases.

Summary: The current research focuses on the impact of maternal diet during pregnancy on offspring development and health outcomes. However, researchers recognize the need for a more comprehensive evaluation of the importance of diet for public health. Studies involving placental development and direct associations with offspring outcomes remain inconclusive.

Summary: This systematic review evaluates the outcomes of using biologic and synthetic meshes in implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR). The findings indicate that synthetic meshes are at least equivalent to biologic meshes in terms of surgical complications and patient outcomes. This supports the use of synthetic meshes as a priority in IBBR.

Summary: The study found that artificial sweeteners used during pregnancy can pass through the placenta and be present in both fetal circulation and amniotic fluid. There was a linear relationship between maternal and fetal plasma concentrations of the artificial sweeteners. However, no linear relationship was observed between amniotic fluid and fetal plasma concentrations. The findings suggest potential risks associated with the consumption of artificial sweeteners during pregnancy.

Summary: Exercise induces the release of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) that may play a role in tissue cross-talk during exercise. In this study, sEVs released after exercise in pregnant and non-pregnant individuals were evaluated for their impact on trophoblasts in vitro. The results showed that exercise-associated sEVs localized within the cytoplasm of trophoblast cells, but did not significantly affect cell proliferation, gene expression, or hormone release. Further investigation is needed to reveal the potential role of exercise-associated sEVs in communicating the effects of exercise to the maternal-fetal interface.

Summary: The gut microbiota is influenced by dietary supplementation of nicotinamide riboside (NR), an NAD(+) precursor. NR altered the gut microbiota in rats and mice, leading to changes in fat and energy absorption. However, the gut microbiota of humans remained unaltered by NR supplementation. These findings suggest that the effects of NR on the gut microbiota may be species-specific.
