Abstract excerpt
SCOPE: Epidemiological evidence supports the developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis that developmental under/over-nutrition increases adulthood disease risk. Epigenetic markings are one potential mechanism mediating these effects. Altered folate supply may influence methyl group availability for DNA methylation. We reported low folate supply in utero was associated with reduced global DNA...
