Paternal Alcohol Exposure Affects Sperm Cytosine Methyltransferase Messenger RNA Levels
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although paternal alcohol exposure has been shown to affect the growth and behavior of offspring, the mechanisms underlying these effects still remain to be elucidated. This study examines one possible mechanism, namely, altered genomic imprinting as reflected by changes in sperm cytosine methyltransferase messenger RNA (mRNA) levels. METHODS: Male rats were treated with alcohol for 9 weeks before...
