Article Synopsis
- Maternal choline supplementation in rats can help counteract some negative effects of alcohol exposure during pregnancy, particularly in terms of fetal growth and placental changes.
- In an experiment, pregnant rats were given different diets with varying levels of choline and alcohol to assess the impact on fetal and placental development.
- The results indicated that higher choline levels improved fetal weight and placental efficiency, especially when compared to alcohol exposure, while also causing alterations in DNA methylation patterns in placentas based on the offspring's sex.
