Friday June 7, 14:00–16:00; room: S-157

  1. Evidence and mechanisms for paternal epigenetic regulation of developmental origins of health and disease. Elvira Isganaitis, MD, MPH
  2. Obesity and bariatric surgery drive epigenetic variation of spermatozoa (human). Ida Donkin, MD, PhD
  3. Preconception diet or exercise intervention in obese fathers normalizes sperm microRNA profile and metabolic syndrome in female offspring (mouse). Nicole O. McPherson, PhD 
  4. Paternal long-term exercise programs offspring for low energy expenditure and increased risk for obesity in mice. P. Darrel Neufer, PhD
  5. Cold-induced epigenetic programming of the sperm enhances brown adipose tissue activity in the offspring (human and mouse). Christian Wolfrum, PhD


The session seems interesting for clinicians, educators and researchers. Findings discussed in talks at this symposium will stimulate us to view men as important contributors to the health of their offspring. A focus on pre-conception counselling in males should help us understand and address the epidemic of diabetes and other metabolic disease.
Sanjay Kalra, Diabetologist
