Article Synopsis
- Cadmium exposure in adulthood is linked to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and rising NAFLD cases in children indicate the importance of early life environmental factors.
- Research suggests that imprinted genes, especially Zac1, may connect early exposure to disease susceptibility later in life.
- Experiments in mice revealed that developmental cadmium chloride exposure led to NAFLD characteristics and showed that Zac1 is a significant factor in this programming process, influencing lipid accumulation through its interaction with the Pparγ promoter.
