Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed decreased binding of histones possessing the repressive histone mark H3K9me3 at the Lepr promoter (p less then 0.05) in hippocampus of female mHFD offspring compared to controls, but not in males. Sex-specific deregulation of Lepr could be reproduced in vitro by exposing female hippocampal neurons to the obesity related proinflammatory cytokine IL-6, but not IL-17a or IFNG. Our findings indicate that the obesity-related proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 during pregnancy leads to sexually dimorphic changes in the modificati
