Parental kynurenine 3-monooxygenase genotype in mice directs sex-specific behavioral outcomes in offspring

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.
