Effect of maternal obesity on estrous cyclicity, embryo development and blastocyst gene expression in a mouse model
20 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Does maternal obesity affect estrous cyclicity, embryo development and blastocyst gene expression in mice? SUMMARY ANSWER: Maternal obesity alters estrous cyclicity and causes the down-regulation of two key metabolite receptors (Slc2a1 and Ldlr) in blastocysts recovered from diet-induced obese females, but embryo development is not affected. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Maternal obesity reduces...
