Can Epigenetic Changes Induced by Toxins Be Reversed?
One of the intriguing aspects of epigenetic changes is their potential reversibility. Unlike genetic mutations, epigenetic marks can sometimes be reversed, offering a therapeutic window for intervention. Studies have shown that dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and pharmacological interventions can sometimes reverse or mitigate toxin-induced epigenetic alterations. For example, dietary intake of folic acid has been shown to influence DNA methylation patterns and may counteract some toxic effects.
