Early life events and their consequences for later disease: A life history and evolutionary perspective (2007, background): “…transmission across generations (Chong and Whitelaw, 2004; Drake and Walker, 2004), although the mechanisms and their relevance American Journal of Human Biology DOI 10.1002/ajhb to reported transgenerational inheritance in humans (Kaati et al., 2002; Pembrey et al., 2006) are poorly understood.”
Ten Putative Contributors to the Obesity Epidemic (2009, positive): “Importantly, not just maternal but also paternal environmental exposures theoretically could induce epigenetic modifications that pass through the male germ line to influence obesity risk in the offspring (Pembrey et al., 2006).”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, background): “…on the epigenetic effects of parental nutrition and health on the growth, health, and reproductive potential of children and even grandchildren (Pembrey et al. 2006, Heijmans et al. 2008, Whitelaw and Whitelaw 2008, Carone et al. 2010), emphasizes how quickly food quality and quantity, as well…”
STRUCTURAL RACISM AND HEALTH INEQUITIES (2011, background): “Other studies suggest that environmental traumas, such as famine, may alter gene expression in subsequent generations (Pembrey et al., 2005).”
Child health, developmental plasticity, and epigenetic programming. (2011, background): “Poor quality of life during this transition delays fecundity and increases longevity (35).”
How Biology Became Social, and What it Means for Social Theory (2014, background): “Studies in humans cannot of course be so direct, but there are highly influential epidemiological studies that have focused on the impact of ‘natural experiments’ like the Dutch ‘Hunger Winter’ (1944–45) on the lifespan, decades later, of people prenatally exposed to it (Heijmans et al., 2008) or th”
Paternally-induced transgenerational environmental reprogramming of metabolic gene expression in mammals (2010, background): “…starvation in humans correlated with obesity and diabetes in children (Lumey et al., 2007), but also, remarkably, limited food in paternal grandfathers has been associated with changed risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in grandchildren (Kaati et al., 2002; Pembrey et al., 2006).”
