Your Stress Levels Impact Your Children More Than You Ever Imagined! According to research conducted at University of Pennsylvania, more and more scientists are realizing DNA is not the only way a parent can pass on traits to their offspring. Events experienced by a parent over a lifetime can also have an impact! Penn researchers have shown at the molecular level how experiencing stress changes a male mouse's sperm in such a way that it affects his offspring's response to stress. This change is imparted epigenetically, or through a means other than the DNA code, by molecules called microRNAs.* WOW!
