Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants and maternal folic acid supplementation: Their impact on glucose homeostasis in male rat descendants

Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants and maternal folic acid supplementation: Their impact on glucose homeostasis in male rat descendants

Exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is associated with insulin resistance while folic acid (FA) may offer a protective effect. However, the paternal contribution to metabolic phenotypes in offspring is not well known yet. Hence, we investigated whether maternal exposure to POPs affects...
