In IUGR-affected piglets, the serum total cholesterol (TC), very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations were high, while total lipase (TL), hepatic lipase (HL), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities of the liver were decreased. This evidence concerns the gene LIPC and fetal growth restriction.
