Low paternal dietary folate alters the mouse sperm epigenome and is associated with negative pregnancy outcomes
Epidemiological studies suggest that a father's diet can influence offspring health. A proposed mechanism for paternal transmission of environmental information is via the sperm epigenome. The epigenome includes heritable information such as DNA methylation. We hypothesize that the dietary supply of methyl donors will alter epigenetic reprogramming in sperm. Here we feed male mice either a fola...
متن کاملThe paternal sperm epigenome: implications for development and disease
Despite the father transmitting half the heritable information to the embryo the focus on preconception health has largely been on the mother. New studies highlight the role of the father in disease transmission via non-genetic inheritance, through epigenetic mechanisms. Epigenetic mechanisms include, DNA methylation, post-translational modifications of histones and noncoding RNAs. Paternal eff...
متن کاملLow dietary protein during early pregnancy alters bovine placental development.
To determine if low dietary protein concentration in the first two trimesters of pregnancy alters placental development, genetically similar heifers from closed herd were fed diets containing different levels of protein in the first and second trimesters of gestation. There were four animals per treatment group, the groups being: L/L = fed a diet containing 7% crude protein (CP) (low protein) i...
متن کاملEpigenetic transgenerational inheritance of vinclozolin induced mouse adult onset disease and associated sperm epigenome biomarkers.
The endocrine disruptor vinclozolin has previously been shown to promote epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of adult onset disease in the rat. The current study was designed to investigate the transgenerational actions of vinclozolin on the mouse. Transient exposure of the F0 generation gestating female during gonadal sex determination promoted transgenerational adult onset disease in F3 ...
متن کاملNegative influence of paternal age on clinical intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle outcomes in oligozoospermic patients.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of male age on clinical outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles, according to sperm concentration. DESIGN Retrospective, observational study. SETTING Assisted reproduction center. PATIENT(S) The study included 1,024 couples undergoing ICSI cycles with fresh spermatozoa. INTERVENTION(S) The influence of paternal age on ICSI outcomes of ...
