Developmental Exposure of Male Germ Cells to 5-Azacytidine Results in Abnormal Preimplantation Development in Rats1
1 Nov 1996
Abstract excerpt
Methylation of cytosine residues in mammalian DNA is established during gametogenesis and embryogenesis; it plays an important role in gene regulation and normal embryonic development and has also been implicated in genomic imprinting. In the present study, we evaluated whether paternal administration of 5-azacytidine, a drug that is incorporated into DNA and blocks DNA methylation, could alter male germ cell...
