Genome-wide hepatic DNA methylation changes in high-fat diet-induced obese mice
1 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: A high-fat diet (HFD) induces obesity, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and cancer, while a calorie-restricted diet can extend life span by reducing the risk of these diseases.
