Uteroplacental insufficiency alters DNA methylation, one-carbon metabolism, and histone acetylation in IUGR rats
20 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
Uteroplacental insufficiency leads to intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and increases the risk of insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridemia in both humans and rats. Postnatal changes in hepatic gene expression characterize the postnatal IUGR rat, despite the transient nature of the initial in utero insult. Phenomena such as DNA methylation and histone acetylation can induce a relatively static...
