Parental kynurenine 3-monooxygenase genotype in mice directs sex-specific behavioral outcomes in offspring by Snezana Milosavljevic, Maria V. Piroli, Emma J. Sandago, Gerardo G. Piroli, Holland H. Smith, Sarah Beggiato, Norma Frizzell, Ana Pocivavsek

“…Conclusions These findings suggest that Kmo deficiency impacts KP biochemistry, sleep behavior, and brain mitochondrial function. Even though WT-Kmo +/+ inherit identical genetic material as WT-Control, their development might be shaped by the parent’s physiology, behavior, or metabolic state influenced by their Kmo genotype, leading to phenotypic sex-specific differences in offspring.…”
