Mashoodh, R., Habrylo, I. B., Gudsnuk, K. M., Pelle, G. & Champagne, F. A. Maternal modulation of paternal effects on offspring development.
None of the reproductive parameters were affected, and there were no deleterious effects on offspring survival and growth.
A cross-fostering design was used to allow dissociation of any direct prenatal effects on offspring from effects dependent on DEX exposure of the rearing dam.
Evidence suggests pre-eclampsia also has implications for the mother beyond pregnancy, as well as long-term effects on offspring health.
Cadmium (Cd) is a well-studied and ubiquitous toxicant but little is known about the effects on offspring of exposed parents (transgenerational effects).
Overall, our results suggest that chronic exposure of parents to light at night has multigenerational effects on offspring depressive-like behavior.
The present study investigated retention and effects of brominated dioxins in adult zebrafish, as well as maternal transfer and effects on offspring.
It is widely considered that exposure to maternal cigarette smoking in pregnancy has risk effects on offspring attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
These results suggest that stress experienced by a laying bird has significant effects on offspring development and adult phenotype, possibly mediated by the transfer of maternal corticosterone to yolk.
The long-term effects on offspring include greater susceptibility to psychiatric disease, such as depression and anxiety disorders, and adverse metabolic conditions including obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
