Sex-specific role of epigenetic modification of a leptin upstream enhancer in adipose tissue

Sex-specific role of epigenetic modification of a leptin upstream enhancer in adipose tissue

Abstract Objective Maternal hormonal status can have long-term effects on offspring metabolic health and is likely regulated via epigenetic mechanisms. We elucidated the effects of maternal thyroid hormones on the epigenetic regulation of leptin (Lep) transcription in adipose tissue (AT) and subsequ...
