Epigenetic Mechanisms of Transmission of Metabolic Disease across Generations.

Cell metabolism - 7 Mar 2017

Sales Vicencia Micheline, Ferguson-Smith Anne C, Patti Mary-Elizabeth

Abstract excerpt

Both human and animal studies indicate that environmental exposures experienced during early life can robustly influence risk for adult disease. Moreover, environmental exposures experienced by parents during either intrauterine or postnatal life can also influence the health of their offspring, thus initiating a cycle of disease risk across generations. In this Perspective, we focus on epigenetic mechanisms in...
