English to French: Mother’s Diet Can Affect Genes And Offspring’s Risk Of Allergic Asthma, Rodent Studies Suggest
Source text - English Mother’s Diet Can Affect Genes And Offspring’s Risk Of Allergic Asthma, Rodent Studies Suggest
A pregnant mouse’s diet can induce epigenetic changes that increase the risk her offspring will develop allergic asthma, according to researchers at National Jewish Health and Duke University Medical Center. Pregnant mice that consumed diets high in supplements containing methyl-donors, such as folic acid, had offspring with more severe allergic airway disease than offspring from mice that consumed diets low in methyl-containing foods.
The results of the study are being published Sept. 18, 2008, in the online version of the Journal of Clinical Investigation and will appear in the October print issue.
“Our findings suggest that a mother’s diet that alters DNA methylation can affect the development of the fetus’s immune system, predisposing it to allergic airway disease,” said David Schwartz, MD, senior author on the paper and Professor of Medicine at National Jewish Health. “It also suggests the dramatic increase in asthma during the past two decades may be related in part to recent changes in dietary supplementation among women of childbearing age.”
The prevalence of asthma has nearly doublet in the past 25 years. Asthma currently affects about 11 percent of the US population and accounts for $9.4 billion in direct healthcare costs.
Translation - French Des études sur des rongeurs laissent entendre que l’alimentation de la mère pendant la grossesse aurait une incidence sur les gènes de l’enfant et sur le risque que celui-ci souffre d’asthme allergique
Selon des chercheurs du National Jewish Health et du Duke University Medical Center, l’alimentation d’une souris gestante peut provoquer des changements épigénétiques, qui augmentent le risque que sa progéniture soit atteinte d’asthme allergique. En effet, les souris gestantes dont l’alimentation était riche en suppléments contenant des donneurs de méthyl, par exemple de l’acide folique, ont donné naissance à une progéniture plus gravement atteinte d’allergies respiratoires que la progéniture des souris dont l’alimentation contenait peu de méthyl.
Les résultats de ces études ont été publiés le 18 septembre 2008 dans la version électronique du Journal of Clinical Investigation et paraîtront également dans le numéro d’octobre de la version papier de la revue.
« Les résultats permettent de penser que la modification de la méthylation de l’ADN. par l’alimentation de la femme affecterait le développement du système immunitaire du fœtus, ce qui prédisposerait l’enfant aux allergies respiratoires », d'après David Schwartz, M.D., auteur en chef de l’article et professeur de médecine au National Jewish Health. D’après cette étude, « il se pourrait également que l'augmentation spectaculaire de l’asthme au cours des deux dernières décennies soit liée en partie aux récents changements apportés à la supplémentation alimentaire chez les femmes en âge de procréer. »
La prévalence de l’asthme a presque doublé au cours des 25 dernières années. Actuellement, l’asthme affecte environ 11 % de la population américaine, et ses coûts directs liés aux soins de santé s’élèvent à 9,4 milliards de dollars.
