Examples
In the current study, we examined how maternal diabetes mellitus influences FA profiles of 6-day-old blastocysts, separately in embryoblast (EB), trophoblast (TB) and blastocysts fluid (BF), compared to maternal serum levels.
Because the early conceptus at the preembryo stage is highly sensitive to shifts in nutrient availability and lipid balance, subtle changes in the surrounding milieu–whether in vivo in diabetic pregnancy or in vitro during culture–may contribute to lineage-specific adaptations between embryoblast and trophoblast.
