چکیده
same observers (K. J. and D. W. S.). Four of these children were recognised as having a similar pattern of altered growth and morphogenesis. Thereafter, two other children were ascertained by the abnormal features identified in the first four patients, while the remaining two affected children were ascertained because their mothers were chronically alcoholic. The mothers of the affected patients all satisfied the criteria for alcoholism as published in 1972 by the Criteria Committee, National Council on Alcoholism. 2

Offspring of Mothers Fed a High Fat Diet Display Hepatic Cell Cycle Inhibition and Associated Changes in Gene Expression and DNA Methylation
The association between an adverse early life environment and increased susceptibility to later-life metabolic disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease is described by the developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis. Employing a rat model of maternal high fat (MHF) nutrition, we recently reported that offspring born to MHF mothers are small at birth and d...
متن کاملEffects of Pre-pregnancy Chronic Valproate Administration in Female Rats on Avoidance Memory and Hippocampal Gene Expression of Offspring
Background and purpose: Valproic acid derivatives are histone deacetylases (HDACs) inhibitors. HDACs are important in epigenetic processes. Some epigenetic modifications are inherited. This study aimed at investigating the intergenerational effects of pre-pregnancy chronic valproate consumption on offspring. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, twelve female Wistar rats were rand...
متن کاملAdolescent offspring of mothers with chronic fatigue syndrome.
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to determine whether adolescent offspring of mothers with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) have higher prevalence of CFS and report more fatigue, greater pain sensitivity, more sleep problems, and poorer cardiopulmonary fitness in comparison with offspring with no exposure to maternal CFS. METHODS A total of 26 adolescent offspring of 20 mothers diagnosed with...
متن کاملEvidence for specificity of transmission of alcohol and nicotine dependence in an offspring of twins design.
Alcohol dependence (AD) and nicotine dependence (ND) have been shown to co-occur. Results from twin studies implicate the role of genetics in the etiology of both ND and AD with substantial, yet incomplete, overlap. To test for specificity of transmission of AD and ND in an offspring of twins sample we analyzed data from a study of adolescent and adult offspring of twin fathers ascertained from...
متن کاملPlace Aversion by Morphine in Offspring Born of Female Morphine Administered Wistar Rats
This research was designed to study sexual differences in place conditioning induced by morphine in offspring born of female Wistar rats mated with drug-naïve males. Mothers were exposed to morphine during the 14th-16th days of gestational. Control dams were simply saline-injected. Female and male virgin offspring born of morphine-treated or saline-treated mothers were separately housed until b...
