SPIRULINA SUPPLEMENTATION DURING PRENATAL PROTEIN DEPRIVATION AFFECTS THE NEUROCOGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF RATS' F1 OFFSPRING
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study of protein malnutrition (PMN) or protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM) is gaining popularity, owing to the fact that it has an impact on the brain's neurotransmitters, enzymes, and structural proteins. If the mother's diet is lacking in protein, it is possible that her foetus may be born with developmental delays. Because of this, inadequate nutrition for the expectant woman is a significant contributor to prenatal mortality and morbidity. Studies conducted over the past few years have shown a significant relationship between eating habits and mental health, highlighting the linear nature of the relationship between the two variables. According to recent findings from our study, babies born to protein deficient mothers show physical slowness, delayed reflex ontogeny, hyperactivity, poor habituation, low anxiety, weak forelimb neuromuscular strength, and reduced cognitive functioning.
