A maternal ketogenic diet alters oviduct fluid nutrients and embryo histone acetylation in mice
9 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
In brief: A ketogenic diet (KD) elevates blood β-hydroxybutyrate to concentrations that are known to perturb the development, metabolism, histone acetylation and viability of preimplantation mouse embryos in culture. This study shows that a maternal KD changes available nutrient levels in the oviduct, leading to altered embryo development and epigenetic state in vivo. Abstract: A ketogenic diet elevates blood...
