Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic mechanisms of paternal inheritance are an emerging area of interest in our efforts to understand fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. In rodent models examining maternal alcohol exposures, different maternal genetic backgrounds protect or sensitize offspring to alcohol-induced teratogenesis. However, whether maternal background can mitigate sperm-inherited alterations in developmental programming and...
