Maternal High Fat Diet and its Expressions in the Heart and Liver in the Mice Embryogenesis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe developmental biology for the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and coronary heart disease are known but elaborative ideas of triglycerides phenomenon in the embryo-genesis of the liver and the heart are still not clear.
objectiveThe aim of the study was to relate different triglycerides like LXRα, LPL, LDL R, PPARG-, SREBP-1C expression in the high fat fed mice with the normal fed diet mice in the process of developmental and embryo-genesis biology.
methodsTissue preparation was done by ripalysis. Different protein content was obtained via western blot for the 6 samples namely a-17.5 days mice embryo heart; b- 0th day or the birthday mice infant heart; c-1 week mice infant heart; d-2 weeks mice infant heart; e-3 weeks mice infant heart; f-Adult mice heart. Protein lysates from the heart tissues of the mice was obtained via homegenization and centrifugation. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H and E) was done to see the fat droplets in the liver tissues at the different developmental stages.
resultLXRα,SREBP-1C expression in 17.5 days mice embryo heart and 0th day or the birthday mice infant heart is highly expressed in the high fat diet. LDL-R in the high fat diet mice is increased in 2 weeks mice infant heart but in17.5 days mice embryo heart and in 0th day or the birthday mice infant heart it is low expression but from 1week mice infant heart to the adult mice heart the expression is in decreasing trend. Similarly LPL is highly expressed in17.5 days mice embryo heart and 1 week mice infant heart and thus low expression in decreasing order until adult mice heart.Thus, these results collectively shows that maternal HF diet increases expression of proteins such as LPL, LDLr in the embryo phase and thus getting normal expressions in the adult phase that facilitate Triglycerides (TAG) hydrolysis across the liver and the heart. Also,maternal high fat diet increases the SREBP1c expression, leading to stimulation of LPL Expression.
conclusionIn summary, using a pregnant mice model, we found that maternal high fat diet increases the fetal fat accumulation. Elevated placental LPL activity and expression of genes that facilitate placental lipid transport suggest that enhanced placental lipid transport may play a key role in maternal nutrition and obesity-induced fetal fat accumulation.
