the role of epigenetics in the development of prediabetes
The role of epigenetics in the development of prediabetes refers to how environmental factors can influence gene expression and contribute to one's susceptibility to developing prediabetes, a condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels. Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA molecules, impact the activity of genes involved in glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity, thereby affecting the risk of developing prediabetes.
