High-fat diet in pregnant rats and adverse fetal outcome.

CONCLUSION: HFD alters the maternal metabolic state, increases fetal resorptions in vivo, and increases the rate of fetal/embryonic malformations both in vivo and in vitro. These findings suggest that metabolic disturbances in HFD pregnant rats have profound adverse developmental effects in the offspring. PMID: 31063006 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
