Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The placenta shapes fetal brain development through metabolic and epigenetic regulation. The BTBR T+ Itpr3tf/J (BTBR) mouse provides a valuable model of neurodevelopmental vulnerability. This study investigates the cellular and spatial distribution of lipid metabolic and epigenetic alterations within the BTBR placenta. METHODS: We analyzed mid-gestation (12.5 days post coitum) placentas from BTBR...
