For another inflammatory marker, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (mcp-1), mRNA levels were significantly (p < 0.05) lower in vit D and FO (HF-FO + vit D) groups compared to HF and HF+FO, but were comparable to the HF-D group (Figure 6B). The gene discussed is CCL2; the disease is hydrops fetalis.
