Paternal DDT exposure induces sex-specific programming of fetal growth, placenta development and offspring’s health phenotypes in a mouse model

Paternal DDT exposure induces sex-specific programming of fetal growth, placenta development and offspring’s health phenotypes in a mouse model

Abstract Mounting evidence suggests that environmentally induced epigenetic inheritance occurs in mammals and that traits in the progeny can be shaped by parental environmental experiences. Epidemiological studies link parental exposure to environmental toxicants, such as the pesticide DDT, to healt...
