Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic mechanisms are likely to be involved in the development of obesity. This study was designed to examine the role of a DNA methyltransferase (Dnmt3a), in obese adipose tissue. The gene expression of Dnmts was examined by quantitative real-time PCR analysis. Transgenic mice overexpressing...
