Maternal protein restriction during pregnancy induces CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBPβ) expression through the regulation of histone modification at its promoter region in female offspring rat skeletal muscle

Abstract excerpt

Maternal nutrition during pregnancy is an important intrauterine environmental factor that can cause persistent alterations of the offspring genome and is associated with potential disease risk later in life. In the present study, we investigated the impact of a maternal low protein diet (LP) on the expression of the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBPβ) in offspring skeletal muscle. C/EBPβ...
