Cruz-Carrillo, G., et al. (2020). Fetal Programming by Methyl Donors Modulates Central Inflammation and Prevents Food Addiction-Like Behavior in Rats. Front Neurosci, 14, 452. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2020.00452
From the animal study’s text: “Fetal programming by methyl donors actively decreases addiction-like behavior to palatable food in the offspring, which correlates with a decrease in NAc shell methylome, expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine genes, and activity of phagocytic microglia.”
