Taurine supplementation only increased plasma taurine concentrations in CONT group. Both CAF and CAFT fed dams consumed less water in comparison to CON and CONT dams. Resultsĭietary intakes were significantly different between the groups. After 8 weeks all animals were mated and maintained on the same diets during pregnancy and lactation. Methodsįemale Wistar rats were fed a control diet (CON), CON supplemented with 1.5% taurine in drinking water (CONT), cafeteria diet (CAF) or CAF supplemented with taurine (CAFT) from weaning. This study aimed to examine the effect of maternal cafeteria diet and/or taurine supplementation on maternal dietary intake, plasma metabolites, fetal growth and development. Recent evidence suggests that taurine can exert protective role against detrimental influence of obesogenic diets. Maternal obesity may disrupt the developmental process of the fetus during gestation in rats. Effects of maternal taurine supplementation on maternal dietary intake, plasma metabolites and fetal growth and development in cafeteria diet fed rats.
