Can you tell me what I'm supposed to be answering? I need more details please.
Answer:
The influence that maternal nutrition -the mother's intake of nutrients- has on the fetal gene expression, as well as its development and growth, is referred to as fetal programming, responsible for the predisposition to obesity or chronic diseases during its lifetime.
Explanation:
Both gene expression and fetal growth and development depend on three relevant factors:
- <em>Proper placental function.</em>
- <em>Maternal nutrition</em><em>.</em>
- <em>How the fetus uses maternal nutrients.
</em>
The above factors can eventually <u>induce changes in the metabolism of the developing fetus</u>, which manages to adapt, but with consequences on the normal developmental pathway, which can trigger negative metabolic disturbances.
Fetal programming - also referred to as fetal metabolism programming - includes a number of factors that influence postnatal metabolic behavior, including susceptibility to obesity or chronic disease.

Pathogens are microorganisms - such as bacteria and viruses - that cause disease. Bacteria release toxins and viruses damage our cells. White blood cells can ingest and destroy pathogens. They can produce antibodies to destroy pathogens, and antitoxins to neutralize toxins
