Adult Glucocorticoid Exposure Leads to Transcriptional and DNA Methylation Changes in Nuclear Steroid Receptors in the Hippocampus and Kidney of Mouse Male Offspring1
22 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Synthetic glucocorticoids (sGCs) are commonly prescribed for the management of inflammatory and endocrine disorders. However, nothing is known regarding the effects of sGC on adult germline methylome and whether these effects can be transmitted to the next generation. We hypothesized that administration of sGC to adult male mice alters DNA methylation in mature sperm and modifies the transcription and methylation...
