Litter Gender Composition and Sex Affect Maternal Behavior and DNA Methylation Levels of the Oprm1 Gene in Rat Offspring
The mu-opioid receptor is encoded by the Oprm1 gene and contributes to mother–infant behaviors. Rodent dams lick male pups more than female pups in the anogenital region. This behavior is linked to stress responsivity in the offspring that may be mediated by epigenetic changes. We hypothesized that...
