Expression of DNA methyltransferases in the mouse uterus during early pregnancy and susceptibility to dietary folate deficiency
11 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
We have characterized the uterine expression of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) during early pregnancy in mice and determined whether a folate-deficient diet (FDD) can affect DNMTs in this context. Within endometrial cells, expressions of DNMT (cytosine-5) 1 (Dnmt1), Dnmt3a, and Dnmt3b were significantly elevated during the prereceptive phase of pregnancy but generally returned to baseline levels during receptive...
