349. Award Talk: Effects of Betaine Supplementation and Nutrient Restriction During Gestation Onfetal Muscle Development and Oxidative Status in Sheep.
Maternal nutritional status during gestation impacts fetal myogenesis and liver oxidative balance, thereby altering growth and metabolic function. Supplementation of betaine, a methyl donor, supports muscle development and antioxidant capacity, and improves physiological responses. We hypothesized that maternal nutri...
