| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Maternal fatty acids intake from dietary oil, during pregnancy to lactation, may affect the onset of lifestyle diseases in the next generation. To clarify the mechanism, maternal mice were feed high fat lard diet or high fat fish oil diet from pregnancy to lactation, and the liver of offspring were analyzed. The gene expression of neonatal liver showed difference, which accompanied changes of DNA methylation by maternal diet. Especially, large changes were observed in fatty acid metabolism related genes of maternal high fat fish oil diet group. Therefore, maternal dietary fatty acids could control the gene expression trough DNA methylation on specific metabolic pathway in neonatal liver, where organ is immature.
