DNA methylation is a key neuronal<br \/>\nmechanism for adapting to environmental changes. In this study, female mice exposed to<br \/>\nnormal-protein (NP) or low-protein (LP) diets during gestation and lactation were assessed<br \/>\nfor behavior and gene\/protein expression in mothers and female offspring. We observed<br \/>\nthat a LP diet in pregnancy and lactation led to anxiety-like behavior and anhedonia in<br \/>\nmothers and offspring. Reduced GR expression occurred in both hippocampus (HP) and<br \/>\namygdala (AMY) of mothers and LP offspring. we noted an increase in plasma<br \/>\ncorticosterone levels in offspring. Malnourished offspring displayed lower Bdnf exon VI and<br \/>\nan increase in the expression of Dnmt3b and Gadd45b in HP. AMY showed a trend<br \/>\ntowards reduced Dnmt3b. A 5mC dot blot in HP of mothers and offspring revealed no<br \/>\nfound differences between NP al LP animals on global 5mC levels. These findings indicate<br \/>\nHPA axis dysregulation in offspring, potentially increasing anxiety-like behaviors in adult<br \/>\nLP offspring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: GEORGIEFF ERIKA INES | email: Georgiefferikaines@gmail.com | Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-1889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-session-2","tag-cellular-and-molecular-neurobiology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1889"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1889\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2233,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1889\/revisions\/2233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
