Raising gestational choline intake alters gene expression in DMBA‐evoked mammary tumors and prolongs survival
1 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
Choline is an essential nutrient that serves as a donor of metabolic methyl groups used during gestation to establish the epigenetic DNA methylation patterns that modulate tissue-specific gene expression. Because the mammary gland begins its development prenatally, we hypothesized that choline availability in utero may affect the gland's susceptibility to cancer. During gestational days 11-17, pregnant rats were...
