CRISPR-Cas9 may restore the balance of hormones affected by the frequency of DNA methylation sites and a decrease of commensal bacteria
2019-06-21
Abstract excerpt
In this review, it is suggested that there are connections between hormonal changes, the frequency of DNA methylation, and disease. The commensal microbes of the gut may also affect the production of those hormones. Short Chain Fatty Acids, produced from gut microbiota glucose metabolism, like butyrate, propionate, folate, and acetate act as ligands that bind to G-coupled protein receptors. For example, folate fro...
