11.7. Transgenerational epigenetic mechanisms in adipose tissue development

S Lecoutre , P Petrus , M Ryden , C Breton

To read the full abstract: Trends Endocrinol Metab. 2018; 29(10):675–685This paper comprehensively reviews current knowledge on epigenetic mechanisms in adipose tissue that may account for transgenerational dysregulation of adipocyte formation and adipose tissue function.There is increasing evidence that adult-onset disorders, including obesity, may derive fro...
