Intrauterine programming mechanism for hypercholesterolemia in prenatal caffeine‐exposed female adult rat offspring
2 May 2018

Our previous studies showed that prenatal caffeine exposure (PCE) led to fetal overexposure to maternal glucocorticoids (GCs) and increased serum total cholesterol levels in adult rat offspring. This study further confirms the intrauterine programming of PCE-induced...
