Roux-En Y Gastric Bypass Surgery Induces Genome-Wide Promoter-Specific Changes in DNA Methylation in Whole Blood of Obese Patients
24 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: DNA methylation has been proposed to play a critical role in many cellular and biological processes. OBJECTIVE: To examine the influence of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery on genome-wide promoter-specific DNA methylation in obese patients. Promoters are involved in the initiation and regulation of gene transcription. METHODS: Promoter-specific DNA methylation in whole blood was measured in 11...
