Maternal dietary iron restriction modulates hepatic lipid metabolism in the fetuses
24 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
Maternal dietary Fe restriction reduced fasting plasma cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) concentrations in the fetuses, as well as decreased plasma TG levels in the adult offspring. To investigate how maternal Fe restriction was affecting fetal lipid metabolism, we investigated whether there were changes in liver lipid metabolism in the full-term fetuses. There was a approximately 27% (P < 0.05) increase in...
