Maternal nutrition during pregnancy or lactation may affect the chance of offspring becoming obese as adults, but little is known about the possible role of maternal nutrition before conception. Here we investigate how variable protein and carbohydrate content of the diet consumed before pregnancy affects fat deposition of offspring mice. Eight week old female mice (C57BL/6JBom) were fed isocaloric low protein (8.4% protein; LP), standard protein (21.5% protein; ST) or high protein (44.2% protein; HP) diets. After eight weeks of feeding, females were mated and fed a standard laboratory chow diet (22.5% protein) throughout periods of mating, gestation, lactation and weaning. Offspring mice were fed the same standard diet until 46 days of age. Then offspring were killed and measures of dissected fat deposits were taken. Fat deposition of the offspring was significantly affected by preconceptional maternal nutrition and the effects differed among sexes. Male offspring deposited most fat when mothers were fed LP diet, whereas female offspring deposited most fat when mothers were fed the ST diet. Our study demonstrates that preconceptional nutrition can have important influence on fat deposition in offspring in mice.
