Transgenerational inheritance of diabetes susceptibility in male offspring with maternal androgen exposure
12 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Androgen exposure (AE) poses a profound health threat to women, yet its transgenerational impacts on male descendants remain unclear. Here, employing a large-scale mother-child cohort, we show that maternal hyperandrogenism predisposes sons to β-cell dysfunction. Male offspring mice with prenatal AE exhibited hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance across three generations, which were further exacerbated by aging...
