Metabolic abnormalities in the bone marrow cells of young offspring born to mothers with obesity.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesIntrauterine metabolic reprogramming occurs in mothers with obesity during gestation, putting the offspring at high risk of developing obesity and associated metabolic disorders even before birth. We have generated a mouse model of maternal high-fat diet-induced obesity that recapitulates the metabolic changes seen in humans born to women with obesity.
methodsHere, we profiled and compared the metabolic characteristics of bone marrow cells of newly weaned 3-week-old offspring of dams fed either a high-fat (Off-HFD) or a regular diet (Off-RD). We utilized a state-of-the-art flow cytometry, and targeted metabolomics approach coupled with a Seahorse metabolic analyzer.
resultsWe revealed significant metabolic perturbation in the offspring of HFD-fed vs. RD-fed dams, including utilization of glucose primarily via oxidative phosphorylation. We also show a reduction in levels of amino acids, a phenomenon previously linked to bone marrow aging. Using flow cytometry, we found changes in the immune complexity of bone marrow cells and identified a unique B cell population expressing CD19 and CD11b in the bone marrow of three-week-old offspring of high-fat diet-fed mothers. Our data also revealed increased expression of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) on myeloid CD11b, and on CD11b
conclusionsAltogether, we demonstrate that the offspring of mothers with obesity show metabolic and immune changes in the bone marrow at a very young age and prior to any symptomatic metabolic disease.
