| Summary: |
"The Epigenome and Developmental Origins of Health and Disease synthesizes the existing knowledge on how the in utero environment could be the most important environment in shaping later risk for various diseases or conversely promote the health of the offspring. This book mines the existing literature of a variety of disciplines, from toxicology to nutrition to epigenetics, to reveal how contrasting maternal in utero environmental changes might be leading to epigenetic convergence and resulting deleterious phenotypic and physiological effects in our offspring. It is increasingly becoming ap |
