Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Antenatal hypoxia negatively impacts foetal heart development, and increases the risk of heart disease later in life. The molecular mechanisms remain largely elusive. Here, we conducted a genome-wide analysis to study the impact of antenatal hypoxia on DNA methylome and transcriptome profiling in foetal and adult offspring hearts. METHODS AND RESULTS: Pregnant rats were treated with normoxia or hypoxia...
