Temperatures around conception affect metabolic health in adulthood

2025-05-19

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Epigenetic adaptations around conception can help organisms adjust to their future environment. Pre-conception cold exposure is thought to increase active brown fat mass, and as brown fat metabolizes stored energy to generate heat, this helps adjust to life in cold environments. We examine the implications of this process for human metabolic health. We use data on 430,000 individuals bo...
