Background This study determined the effects of the paternal dietary ratio of n-6: n-3
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on leptin expression in the offspring and associated …

Background The developmentally important DLK1-DIO3 imprinted domain on human
chromosome 14 is regulated by 2 differentially methylated regions, the intergenic …

In mammals successful rearing imposes a cost on later reproductive fitness specifically on
the mother creating the potential for parental conflict. Loss of function of three imprinted …

Detailed molecular analysis is of increasing importance in research into the regulation of
biochemical pathways, organismal growth and disease. Lipidomics in particular is …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetically regulated process leading to gene expression
according to its parental origin. Imprinting is essential for prenatal growth and development …

Genomic imprinting is a process that causes genes to be expressed according to their
parental origin. Imprinting appears to have evolved gradually in two of the three mammalian …

Co-regulated genes of the Imprinted Gene Network are involved in the control of growth and
body size, and imprinted gene dysfunction underlies human paediatric disorders involving …

In mammals, imprinted genes regulate many critical endocrine processes such as growth,
the onset of puberty and maternal reproductive behaviour. Human imprinting disorders (IDs) …

Abstract Introduction Recently, Delta-like homolog 1 (DLK1) was identified as a potential
marker of small-for-gestational-age (SGA;< 10th centile) fetuses; mouse studies suggest …

Low birthweight and reduced height gain during infancy (stunting) may arise at least in part
from adverse early life environments that trigger epigenetic reprogramming that may favor …
