Reversal of maternal programming of stress responses in adult offspring through methyl supplementation: Altering epigenetic marking later in life.

Stress responses in the adult rat are programmed early in life by maternal care and associated with epigenomic marking. These results demonstrate that, despite the inherent stability of the epigenomic marks established early in life through behavioral programming, they are potentially reversible in the adult brain.
