Epigenetic inheritance may not only occur in plants and fungi but also in mammals. While the effect of maternal lifestyle and in utero exposures is well studied, paternal epigenetic inheritance is a novel research field, especially in regard to chemical exposures. Many environmental pollutants exhibit anti-androgenic function. Despite the vital role of androgens in spermatogenesis, the effects of adult anti-androgen exposure on the sperm epigenome and offspring phenotype have been scarcely studied. The overall aim of this novel project is to increase the understanding of if, and how, male life experiences such as adult exposure to the anti-androgenic model substance and pollutant DBP…
