Can leptin-specific epigenetic modulation of preterm cord blood predispose obesity?

The paper examines if leptin promoter methylation in preterm cord blood is associated with adiposity and inflammation in neonates.

In-utero exposure to estrogen-mimicking bisphenols alters bone mineralization in the offspring

This study shows that in-utero exposure to low doses of bisphenol A and BPS increases bone mineral content and density in offspring rats by altering BMP/TGF-β1 signaling.

Gestational exposure to bisphenol S induces microvesicular steatosis by promoting lipogenesis and inflammation in male rat offspring

This study shows that prenatal exposure to BPS in rats leads to microvesicular steatosis in male offspring through increased lipogenesis and inflammation.

Dietary omega-3 fatty acid deficiency from pre-pregnancy to lactation affects expression of genes involved in neurogenesis of the offspring

This study shows that maternal omega-3 fatty acid deficiency during pregnancy and lactation reduces neurogenesis-related gene expression in offspring hippocampus and alters fatty acid metabolism genes.

Fetal exposure to endocrine disrupting-bisphenol A (BPA) alters testicular fatty acid metabolism in the adult offspring: relevance to sperm maturation and quality

This study shows that fetal exposure to BPA alters testicular fatty acid metabolism in adult offspring, affecting sperm maturation and quality, while BPS exposure had no such effects.

Maternal omega-3 fatty acid deficiency affects fetal thermogenic development and postnatal musculoskeletal growth in mice

This study shows that maternal omega-3 PUFA deficiency in mice impairs fetal thermogenesis and musculoskeletal growth by altering adipose browning and metabolic pathways.
