چکیده

Paternal diet influences offspring metabolism, yet the underlying epigenetic mechanisms are unclear. Recently, Chen et al. (2016) and Sharma et al. (2016) identified tRNA fragments in sperm and the male reproductive tract as possible inherited factors altered by paternal diet that lead to gene misexpression and altered metabolism in offspring.

Survey Paternal Adaptation and Its Fatherhood and Offspring relative Factors in Fathers Attending to the Health Centers of Rasht in Year 2018

Introduction: One of the most important events that can happen in a man's life, is becoming a father, which causes huge changes in men's personality, lifestyle and identity. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between adaptation with paternal role and its fatherhood and offspring predictive factors in fathers attending to healthcare centers in Rasht. Methods: The present stu...

Maternal inheritance of severe hypertriglyceridemia impairs glucose metabolism in offspring

Maternally inherited familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) impairs glucose metabolism and increases cardiovascular risks in the offspring to a greater degree than paternal inherited FH. However, it remains unknown whether hypertriglyceridemia affects glucose metabolism via inheritance. In this study, we sought to compare the impact of maternally and paternally inherited hypertriglyceridemia on glu...

Does mate guarding prevent rival mating in snow skinks? A test using AFLP

We report on likely mixed paternity in a natural population of snow skinks (Niveoscincus mirolepidotus) from alpine Tasmania, Australia. This species is nonterritorial and males guard females after copulation, suggesting that guarding behavior has evolved to prevent rival mating of still-receptive females. To what degree does this mate-guarding prevent rival copulations? We sampled gravid femal...

Paternal nicotine exposure alters hepatic xenobiotic metabolism in offspring

Paternal environmental conditions can influence phenotypes in future generations, but it is unclear whether offspring phenotypes represent specific responses to particular aspects of the paternal exposure history, or a generic response to paternal 'quality of life'. Here, we establish a paternal effect model based on nicotine exposure in mice, enabling pharmacological interrogation of the speci...

The effects of paternal high-fat diet exposure on offspring metabolism with epigenetic changes in the mouse adiponectin and leptin gene promoters.

Recent studies have demonstrated that epigenetic changes resulting from malnutrition might play important roles in transgenerational links with metabolic diseases. Previously, we observed that exposure to a high-fat diet (HFD) in utero caused a metabolic syndrome-like phenomenon through epigenetic modifications of the adiponectin and leptin genes that persisted for multiple generations. Recent ...
