The Long Term Consequences of Famine on Survivors: Evidence from a Unique Natural Experiment Using China's Great Famine (2009, background): “Barker (1995) and Ravelli et al.

Adult Consequences of Fetal Growth Restriction (2006, background): “The wartime famine in the Netherlands produced lifelong insulin resistance in babies who were in utero at the time, but with little alteration in birghtweight.(46) In babies, as in children, slowing of growth is a response to a poor environment, especially undernutrition, but body size at birth does”
Sex and Gender Differences in Risk, Pathophysiology and Complications of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (2016, background): “Additionally, increased postprandial glucose levels, as well as hyperinsulinemia, were detected in adults affected by food limitation during their pregnancies (153, 154).”

Prenatal environmental exposures, epigenetics, and disease (2011, positive): “Since 1992, the evidence has grown that developmental plasticity allows the fetus to make anticipatory responses to the external environment by altering the course of cellular and organ differentiation in utero in order to gain adaptive advantage for later life challenges [31,32].”
