Background: Supplementing choline and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to pregnant gilts modified fetal pig hepatic global DNA methylation induced by gestational malnutrition, suggesting that gene expression and regulation and its associated metabolic pathways are affected in the liver of offspring during growth and development.
Objective: To investigate the effect of maternal supplementation of choline, DHA and their interaction on hepatic mRNA expression, miRNA regulation and metabolic pathways in the fetal pigs born to malnourished mothers.
Methods: The abundance of mRNA and miRNA was profiled in fetal liver from sows with undernutrition supplemented with choline and DHA in a 2 × 2 factorial design.

Purpose: To investigate the rare obstetric emergency with no specific treatments called acute fatty liver of pregnancy. The primary objective was to evaluate association of adverse perinatal outcomes with blood components transfusion. While the secondary objective focused on further establishing the predictive risk factors for adverse perinatal outcomes.

Background: Proactively preventing postpartum weight retention (PPWR) is one of the effective intervention strategies to reduce the occurrence of obesity in women. Population studies have shown that serum folate levels are closely related to body weight. The regulation of folic acid on lipid metabolism has been fully confirmed in both in vivo and in vitro studies.

Wilson's disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects copper transport due to deficiency of ceruloplasmin and causes deposition of copper mainly in the liver, brain and cornea. It causes hepatic and/or neuropsychiatric manifestations. This copper deposition causes cirrhosis of the liver, encephalopathy and liver failure.
