Systemic alterations play a dominant role in epigenetic predisposition to breast cancer in offspring of obese fathers and is transmitted to a second generation
Abstract We previously showed that environmentally-induced epigenetic inheritance of cancer occurs in rodent models. For instance, we reported that paternal consumption of an obesity-inducing diet (OID) increased breast cancer susceptibility in the offspring (F1). Nevertheless, it is still unclear w...
