Exercise for older mouse mothers lowers risk of heart defects in babies

1 abril 2015

Newborn mice predisposed to heart defects because of genetic mutations show the same age association. A new study demonstrates that older mouse mothers reduce this risk for their offspring to that of younger mouse mothers through exercise alone, according to researchers.
