HF offspring had moderate adipocyte hypertrophy and increased expression of the pre-adipocyte marker Dlk1. There was a significant effect of maternal salt with increased hepatic expression of Dgat1 and Igfb2. Gut expression of inflammatory (Il1r1, Tnfα, Il6, and Il6r) and renin–angiotensin system (Agtr1a, Agtr1b) markers was significantly reduced in HFSD offspring compared to HF offspring. The gene discussed is DGAT1; the disease is hydrops fetalis.
