N-acetyl-L-cysteine reduces testis ROS in obese fathers but fails in protecting offspring from acquisition of epigenetic traits at cyp19a1 and IGF11/H19 ICR loci

Abstract excerpt
Introduction Paternal nutrition before conception has a marked impact on offspring’s risk of developing metabolic disorders during adulthood. Research on human cohorts and animal models has shown that paternal obesity alters sperm epigenetics (DNA methylation, protamine-to-histone replacement, and non-coding RNA content), leading to adverse health outcomes in the offspring. So far, the mechanistic events that...
