Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2018, 62 , 1800034 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201800034 Are you what your mother ate? Increasingly, evidence highlights that lifestyle and environmental exposure in the pre‐ and peri‐natal periods influence epigenetic reprogramming of the offspring. Baseline health and nutritional status of the pregnant mother seems to play a pivotal role in response to gestational nutritional supplementation, on DNA methylation fluctuations in neonatal tissues.
