Maternal obesity may disrupt offspring metabolism by inducing oocyte genome hyper-methylation via increased DNMTs

This study shows maternal obesity causes oocyte genome hyper-methylation via increased DNMTs, which can be partially transmitted to F2 offspring, and melatonin reduces this hyper-methylation through the cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway.
