There is increasing evidence that toxicant exposure can alter DNA methylation profile, one
of the main epigenetic mechanisms, particularly during embryogenesis when DNA …

There is growing evidence that environmental toxicants can affect various physiological
processes by altering DNA methylation patterns. However, very little is known about the …

Triclosan (TCS), a prevalent contaminant in aquatic ecosystems, has been identified as a
potential threat to both aquatic biota and human health. Despite its widespread presence …

Environmental epigenetics is a rapidly growing field which studies the effects of
environmental factors such as nutrition, stress, and exposure to compounds on epigenetic …

This study aimed to investigate whether dioxin (TCDD) and methylmercury (MeHg) pose a
threat to offspring of fish exposed to elevated concentrations of these chemicals via …

Early molecular events with correlation to disease, such as aberrant DNA methylation,
emphasize the importance of DNA methylation as a potential environmental biomarker …

A number of chemicals have been shown to affect epigenetic patterning and functions. Since
epigenetic mechanisms regulate transcriptional networks, epigenetic changes induced by …

Ionizing radiation is known to cause DNA damage, yet the mechanisms underlying potential
transgenerational effects of exposure have been scarcely studied. Previously, we observed …

DNA-methylation is one pathway of epigenetic programming of gene expression and can be
responsive to environmental challenges such as methylating agents in the food. Here we …

DNA methylation refers to the addition of a methyl group to nucleotides within DNA. As with
other epigenetic endpoints, patterns of DNA methylation are susceptible to alterations due to …
