Dietary protein restriction during pregnancy is thought to lead to the development of obesity and glucose intolerance in later life. This study was investigated the effects of maternal plant polyphenols intake during lactation affects AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation in the liver of young and adult offspring exposed to fetal malnutrition. Maternal plant polyphenols (azuki bean polyphenols and resveratrol) intake during lactation increased AMPK phosphorylation in the liver of offspring. The results suggest that plant polyphenols intake during lactation activate hepatic AMPK and may affect the glucose and lipid metabolism in adult offspring exposed with maternal protein restriction.
