Metabolic effects of botryosphaeran, a (1→3)(1→6)-β-D-glucan, in a model of gestational obesity: maternal and progeny developmental impacts

Abstract Maternal obesity is associated with several disorders, and its neonatal impacts include macrosomia. Botryosphaeran, a (1→3)(1→6)-β-D-glucan, produced by the fungus Botryosphaeria rhodina exhibits antiobesogenic effects in rats. The objective of this work was to evaluate, for the first time, the effects of botr...
