Compared with CH offspring, offspring from PS-supplemented mothers demonstrated higher (p < 0.05) intestinal NPC1L1 (+ 1.6-fold of CH, Fig. 1a) expression and lower (p < 0.05) expression of the alpha sub-unit (OSTa) of the heterodimeric ileal basolateral bile acid transport protein OSTa/OSTb (0.6-fold of CH, Fig. 1a). This evidence concerns the gene C4B and cyclic hematopoiesis.
