Fetal masses (A) and relative mRNA levels of proteins associated with lipid metabolism in fetal livers (B) of dams fed chow or a high-fat corn oil (HFCO) diet. Dams were fed diets for 4 wk, mated, and studied at 18.5 dpc. Relative amounts of fetal liver mRNA of genes involved in lipid oxidation and regulation compared with cyclophilin are presented. Data are presented as means ± SE (n = 3–5 litters). *Significant differences (P < 0.05) between fetal livers of dams fed different amounts of dietary fat.
