The placental vasculature is affected by changes in gene expression and glycogen-rich cells in a diet-induced obesity mouse model.

Maternal obesity is a risk factor for pregnancy complications. Obesity caused by a high-fat diet (HFD) may alter maternal glucose/glycogen metabolism. Here, our objective was to investigate whether the placental vasculature is altered via changes in gene expression and glycogen-rich cells using a pr...
