Maternal obesity may disrupt offspring metabolism by inducing oocyte genome hyper-methylation via increased DNMTs
Maternal obesity has deleterious effects on the process of establishing oocyte DNA methylation; yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we found that maternal obesity disrupted the genomic methylation of oocytes using a high-fat diet (HFD) induced mouse model, at least a part of which wa...
