Melatonin influence on miRNA expression in sperm, hypothalamus, pre-frontal cortex and cerebellum of Wistar rats. by Mísia Helena da Silva Ferro, Ingrid Morante, Fernanda Akane Nishino, Camila Estevam, Fernanda Gaspar do Amaral, José Cipolla-Neto, Taiza Stumpp

“…Its action on sperm is of particular interest, since they transfer genetic and epigenetic information to the offspring, including microRNAs, configuring a mechanism of paternal epigenetic inheritance. MicroRNAs are known to participate in a wide variety of mechanisms in basically all cells and tissues, including the brain and the sperm cells, which are known, respectively, to present 70% of all identified microRNAs and to transfer these molecules to the embryo. …”

How do lifestyle and environmental factors influence the sperm epigenome? Effects on sperm fertilising ability, embryo development, and offspring health by Ayazhan Akhatova, Celine Jones, Kevin Coward, Marc Yeste

“…Abstract Recent studies support the influence of paternal lifestyle and diet before conception on the health of the offspring via epigenetic inheritance through sperm DNA methylation, histone modification, and small non-coding RNA (sncRNA) expression and regulation. …”

The adaptation of rainbow trout to warmer water: Oxidative damage in the germinal line by Vianel Sevastei, Sonia A. Crichigno, M. Victoria Santos, Andrea Trochine, Julio C. Painefilú, Noemí Zaritzky, Víctor E. Cussac

“…This implies a high mutation rate and/or a modified epigenetic inheritance. Comparisons were made among a) a rainbow trout strain adapted in terms of upper thermal tolerance and higher preferred temperature (Valcheta stream), b) a wild temperate stream population (Guillelmo stream), and c) two temperate farmed strains. …”
