Background Repetitive element DNA methylation is related to prominent obesity-related
chronic diseases including cancer and cardiovascular disease; yet, little is known of its …

Background DNA methylation has been shown to be associated with adiposity in adulthood.
However, whether similar DNA methylation patterns are associated with childhood and …

Background Epigenetic mechanisms may be involved in the regulation of genes found to be
differentially expressed in the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) of severely obese subjects with …

Uncovering the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and DNA methylation could be
useful to understand molecular mechanisms underpinning the effects of obesity. Here, we …

Background This study measured longitudinal DNA methylation dynamics at growth-related
genes during childhood, and then tested whether DNA methylation at various stages of …

Background Epigenetic markings acquired in early life may have phenotypic consequences
later in development through their role in transcriptional regulation with relevance to the …

Objectives Obesity and weight‐loss are associated with methylation patterns in specific
genes, but their effect on Long Interspersed Nuclear Elements (LINE‐1) methylation, a …

Background Epigenetic mechanisms may be involved in obesity onset and its
consequences. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether DNA methylation …

With the goal of investigating if epigenetic biomarkers from white blood cells (WBC) are
associated with dietary, anthropometric, metabolic, inflammatory and oxidative stress …

Epigenetics links perinatal influences with later obesity. We identifed differentially
methylated CpG (dmCpG) loci measured at 17 years associated with concurrent adiposity …
