WD exposure increases monocyte infiltration of the placenta and induces fetal hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. Representative images for immunofluorescence in placenta tissue and quantitation (A). Red arrows point to MAC387-labeled macrophages (green). Blue staining - DAPI. (B) mRNA expression of cytokines in placenta using qPCR. ACTB was used for reference. Representative images of histological analysis of fetal liver tissue (C) with H&E, picrosirius red (PSR), and LipidSpot, taken at 100 um. Fetal liver triglycerides (TG) (D) and mRNA expression analysis using qPCR (E) with RPS9 used for normalization. n = 4-6 CD and n = 5 WD. Unpaired 2-tailed Student’s t test was used to test significance. *P < 0.05, ****P < 0.0001.
