Placental and Cord Blood DNA Methylation Changes Associated With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in a Marginalized Population: The Untold Role of Saturated Fats

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Excessive intake of saturated fats during pregnancy is associated with DNA hypomethylation in placental and cord blood samples from women affected with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), impacting, in particular, the cord blood promoter of ZFP57, a key regulator of early embryonic epigenetic programming.
