Abstract

What a mom eats before her baby is born can impact the baby’s development. In this experiment, we fed pregnant mice an unhealthy high-fat diet to see the effect on the intestines of the baby mice after they were born. We found that the babies had more of a certain type of immune cell and that their intestines were more easily damaged compared to babies whose moms ate a healthier diet. In the second part of the experiment, we blocked the effects of these unusual immune cells and saw that the intestines of these babies became more resistant to damage, almost like those of baby mice whose moms ate healthy diets. Our research shows how important it is for moms to eat healthy foods when they are pregnant, to keep the newborn baby’s gut healthy.
妈妈的饮食如何影响宝宝的肠道健康
母亲在婴儿出生前的饮食会影响婴儿的发育。在这项实验中,我们给怀孕的小鼠喂食不健康的高脂肪饮食,以观察小鼠出生后肠道受到的影响。我们发现,与妈妈饮食健康的小鼠相比,小鼠体内某种类型的免疫细胞更多,肠道更容易受损。在实验的第二部分,我们阻断了这些异常免疫细胞的作用,结果发现这些婴儿的肠道变得更耐损伤,几乎和那些妈妈吃健康饮食的小鼠一样。我们的研究表明,妈妈在怀孕时食用健康食品对保持新生儿肠道健康是多么重要。
