Significance Hyperglycemia induces persistent oxidative stress and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) suppression in neurons. SOD2 is caused by stress-mediated histone methylation subsequent dissociation of Egr1 on the promoter. Maternal diabetes autism-like behavior offspring with amygdala rats, while overexpression ameliorates behavior. Postnatal treatment blood–brain barrier-permeable antioxidant resveratrol partly restores this effect. This study describes a potential mechanism for maternal...
