Maternal tract factors contribute to paternal seminal fluid impact on metabolic phenotype in offspring
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Events at conception shape the future growth and health of offspring, to impact life course potential and disease susceptibility. The environment and experiences of both parents contribute to programming offspring phenotype through epigenetic modifications imparted before embryo implantation. How the father transmits this information remains elusive. Possible pathways include the sperm genome and epigenome, postejaculatory effects of seminal fluid on sperm, and indirect actions of seminal fluid on various female factors regulating embryo development. In this study, we provide evidence that seminal fluid acts to influence both sperm integrity and the balance of embryotrophic and embryotoxic signals in the female reproductive tract, in turn affecting embryo development and programming of future adiposity and metabolic phenotype in male offspring.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
