Global DNA methylation was changed by a maternal high-lipid, high-energy diet during gestation and lactation in male adult mice liver
17 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
An epigenetic mechanism has been suggested to explain the effects of the maternal diet on the development of disease in offspring. The present study aimed to observe the effects of a maternal high-lipid, high-energy (HLE) diet on the DNA methylation pattern of male offspring in mice. Female C57BL/6J mice were fed an HLE diet during gestation and lactation. The genomic DNA methylations at promoter sites of genes...
