Effects of UDCA on lipid profile in mouse hypercholanemic pregnancy. (A) UDCA improved maternal serum cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol as well as hepatic cholesterol increase in gestational cholestasis. (B) UDCA reversed cholestasis induced changes in HDL and TG in the fetal serum, but it did not affect cholesterol and TG raised levels in the fetal liver. (C) UDCA reversed cholesterol and TG elevated levels associated with maternal cholestasis in placenta. Data are presented as mean and standard error of the mean (sem) and were analyzed with multiple measures of ANOVA followed by Neuman Keul’s post-hoc testing. *p < 0.05 between comparisons connected by lines. NC n = 6, CA n = 6, CA + UDCA n = 4. NC, CA and CA + UDCA represent maternal diet. FFA: free fatty acids; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; TG: triglyceride.
