Metabolic memory (MM) by palmitate/HFD is associated with increased FOXO1 activity.
MM by palmitate/HFD involves alteration in histone H3K36me2 on FOXO1 promoter.
We show decreased abundance of histone H3K27me3 on FOXO1 promoter, in the kidneys of HFD fed rats.
This decrease in histone H3K27me3 on FOXO1 promoter was persistent even after diet reversal.
