Epigenetic regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress in obesity and associated metabolic diseases. Obesity induces a chronic activation of the unfolded protein response and consequently ER stress. Differentially methylated ER regulatory genes play a pivotal role in obesity-induced ER stress, leading to the development of metabolic disturbances. Hypomethylated (red color); hypermethyated (blue color).
