In this interesting podcast, Anita Öst, Medical Faculty at Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden, details her thoughts on, and the current research in, epigenetic inheritance within humans. Anita’s work is focused on epigenetics and the creation of innovative treatments for obesity and obesity-related diseases, etc. Anita provides a wealth of information on epigenetics, which is the study of various changes in organisms that are caused by modifications of gene expression. She talks in detail about the precise area of her study within the field of epigenetics—how offspring inherit information and thereby change their phenotype based on the parents’ environment, stress, etc. Anita provides answers as to why starvation or stress causes changes, and she recounts stories and information on experiments with fruit flies that delivered new and important information on current theories related to epigenetic inheritance. She goes on to explain how weight affects flies in their experimentation, and how they, the researchers, can study fat by measuring a fly’s triglycerides. She discusses weight gain in their test subjects and how it affects offspring overall.  The Linköping University scientist recounts experiments that they performed with humans related to sugar intake and overall diet, and she provides information on how it affected sperm motility. In this podcast:  What is sperm motility? What can the study of epigenetics tell us? How can environment impact offspring?

Epigenetic Analysis – Anita Öst, Medical Faculty at Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden – Epigenetic Inheritance, What We Know Thus Far

Anita Öst, Medical Faculty at Linköping University, provides an overview of the current state of epigenetics research as she discusses epigenetic inheritance in humans. Anita seeks to understand and thereby manipulate epigenetic metabolic programs that are set up by parental cues as well as early life events in an effort to design new treatments for obesity and obesity-related diseases, etc. Anita discusses the concept of epigenetics, which is the study of changes in organisms that can be caused by a modification of gene expression, as opposed to an alteration of the genetic code. She details the specific area of epigenetics she focuses on, which looks at how offspring will inherit information or change their phenotype based on their parents’ environment, or stress. She explains why starvation or stress may lead to changes, and talks in depth about experiments with fruit flies that provided further information on theories related to epigenetic inheritance. She discusses how weight affects flies, and how they look at fat by observing and measuring their triglycerides. And the research scientist explains what they learned by experimenting with weight gain in the test subjects and how that impacts offspring.  Continuing, the Linköping University researcher talks about experiments they performed with humans related to diet and sugar intake. She discusses their results, and how it affected sperm motility. Wrapping up, the researcher explains how these dietary and other effects have impacted their research and their considerations for other experimentation.
