The Roles of PPARs in the Fetal Origins of Metabolic Health and Disease by William D. Rees, Christopher J. McNeil, Christopher A. Maloney

“…This epigenetic modification then programmes subsequent expression. These findings suggest that two separate PPAR-dependent mechanisms may be involved in the fetal adaptations to the maternal diet, one, mediated by PPAR-γ and PPAR-β/δ, regulating cell growth and differentiation; and another adapting long-term lipid metabolism via epigenetic changes in PPAR-α to optimise postnatal survival.…”
