Objective: To investigate if epigenome of sperm cells could be dynamically affected by nutrition. Design and Methods: We assessed 40 healthy volunteers with different dietary habits and collected their demographic characteristics, as well as clinical and anthropometric parameters. We compared methylation profiles in sperm quantified by bisulfite pyrosequencing, at promoter-associated CpG sites of genes involved...
