Paternal dietary ratio of n-6: n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids programs offspring leptin expression and gene imprinting in mice
BackgroundThis study determined the effects of the paternal dietary ratio of n-6: n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on leptin expression in the offspring and associated gene imprinting in a mouse model.MethodsThree- to four-week-old male C57BL/6J mice (F0) were fed an n-3 PUFA-deficient (n-3 D...
