| Research Abstract |
We evaluated whether beneficial effects existed in the foods and food factors can reach embryo and infant via mother's body, and obtained the results indicating that some factors, such as bilberry anthocyanins, might affect on the lipid metabolic pathway, but not the antioxidative system, in the liver on embryo, when mothers were consuming food factors. On the other hand, extracts of bitter cucumber, which has been reported to reduce the hepatic triacylglycerol level in the adult animals, did not exert any effects on hepatic lipid metabolism in the mice embryo. We are continuing the studies to obtain further evidences on this research topics.
