High-fat diet reprograms the epigenome of rat spermatozoa and transgenerationally affects metabolism of the offspring
Objectives: Chronic and high consumption of fat constitutes an environmental stress that leads to metabolic diseases. We hypothesized that high-fat diet (HFD) transgenerationally remodels the epigenome of spermatozoa and metabolism of the offspring. Methods: F0-male rats fed either HFD or chow diet...
