Article Synopsis
- Maternal obesity is linked to various health risks in offspring, but this study focuses specifically on how maternal hypercholesterolemia (MHC) affects lipid metabolism, independent of obesity.
- Female mice were kept on a standard diet with added cholesterol during critical reproductive periods, and their offspring were analyzed for lipid levels both at weaning and adulthood.
- Results showed that offspring from cholesterol-supplemented mothers had higher amounts of certain lipoproteins and specific changes in lipid regulatory gene expression, indicating that MHC has lasting impacts on lipid profiles and metabolism.
