Maternal high-fat diet associated with altered gene expression, DNA methylation, and obesity risk in mouse offspring.

Maternal high-fat diet associated with altered gene expression, DNA methylation, and obesity risk in mouse offspring.

We investigated maternal obesity in inbred SM/J mice by assigning females to a high-fat diet or a low-fat diet at weaning, mating them to low-fat-fed males, cross-fostering the offspring to low-fat-fed SM/J nurses at birth, and weaning the offspring onto a high-fat or low-fat diet.
