[edit] Any other supporting data?
Besides human epidemiology studies, I know there have been some mouse models of this phenomenon. Anyone know the studies?
Why are people obsessing about Barker Hypothesis this much? It is a hypothesis after all. We need a cohort study or well planned transgenerational studies to test this hypothesis and this will not come easy. Such studies are very expensive and rarely conducted. Anyway emerging publications are rendering this hypothesis suspect. I plan to cite these articles mainly from JAMA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayalu Reda (talk • contribs) 11:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
