The mRNA levels of PEPCK, G6Pase, SREBP1c, FAS and apo C-III were higher in the HF group than in the CON group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.01, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively), whereas the mRNA levels of PPARα were decreased in the HF group (p < 0.001). This evidence concerns the gene SREBF1 and hydrops fetalis.
