Abstract:ScopeBrown rice, the most consumed food worldwide, has been shown to possess beneficial effects on the prevention of metabolic diseases. However, the way in which maternal brown rice diet improves metabolism in offspring and the regulatory mechanisms remains unclear. The study explores the epigenetic regulation of offspring energy metabolic homeostasis by maternal brown rice diet during pregnancy.Methods and resultsFemale mice are fed brown rice during pregnancy, and then body phenotypes, the histopathological… Show more
