Epigenomics, gestational programming and risk of metabolic syndrome.

International journal of obesity (2005) - 1 Apr 2015

Desai M, Jellyman J K, Ross M G

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic mechanisms are emerging as mediators linking early environmental exposures during pregnancy with programmed changes in gene expression that alter offspring growth and development. There is irrefutable evidence from human and animal studies that nutrient and environmental agent exposures (for example, endocrine disruptors) during pregnancy may affect fetal/newborn development resulting in offspring...
