Chemicals shown are just representatives of all of the classes of chemicals that are obesogens, and that can act via alterations in epigenetic control of gene expression, especially when exposures occur during development when hormones and growth factors are controlling cell and tissue differentiation. The known epigenetic control systems are shown: DNA methylation, Histone modification, chromatin modeling, and a variety of noncoding RNAs.
