Leptin treatment of neonates born to UN rats reverses the programmed metabolic phenotype, but the possible benefits of this treatment on bone tissue have not been defined. We describe for the first time the effects of neonatal leptin treatment on bone in adult offspring following maternal UN. Offspring from either UN or <jats:italic>ad libitum<\/jats:italic>-fed (AD) rats were treated with either saline or leptin (2.5\u2009\u00b5g\/ g.d on postnatal days (D)3\u201313) and were fed either a chow or high fat (HF) diet from weaning until study completion at D170. Analysis of micro-tomographic data of the left femur showed highly significant effects of UN on cortical and trabecular bone tissue indices, contributing to inferior microstructure and bone strength, almost all of which were reversed by early leptin life treatment. The HF fat diet negatively affected trabecular bone tissue, but the effects of only trabecular separation and number were reversed by leptin treatment. The negative effects of maternal UN on skeletal health in adult offspring might be prevented or attenuated by various interventions including leptin. Establishment of a minimal efficacious leptin dose warrants further study.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-017-07500-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,3]],"date-time":"2017-08-03T10:36:32Z","timestamp":1501756592000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Neonatal leptin treatment reverses the bone-suppressive effects of maternal undernutrition in adult rat offspring"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Elwyn C.","family":"Firth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0412-3203","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Greg D.","family":"Gamble","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jillian","family":"Cornish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4876-9356","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark H.","family":"Vickers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"7500_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"799","DOI":"10.1038\/77702","volume":"3","author":"D Liu","year":"2000","unstructured":"Liu, D., Diorio, J., Day, J.
