Maternal caloric restriction and maternal high fat diet may induce similar changes in offspring bone mass via altered programming of ventromedial hypothalamic feeding circuits, postnatal adiposity, and potentially increased sympathetic nervous system activity that induces bone loss. Changes in peripheral leptin may also divert endosteal mesenchymal stem cells from the osteoblast to the adipocyte lineage, increasing marrow fat and decreasing bone mass.
