Abstract excerpt
To explore whether the placenta contributes to the lipoprotein metabolism of pregnant women, we took advantage of the fact that placental proteins are encoded from the fetal genome and examined the associations between lipids of 525 pregnant women and the presence, in their newborns, of genetic polymorphisms of LPL and apolipoprotein E (APOE), two genes expressed in placenta. After adjustment for maternal...
