This $160,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA Program 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research supports research to understand fetal liver lipid metabolism under intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) using a novel preeclampsia mouse model. The research aims to investigate the mechanisms linking IUGR to the development of adult non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), with a focus on the role of impaired cholesterol metabolism and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion. The project will be conducted by the Baylor College of Medicine, a private health sciences university in Houston, Texas, over a two-year period from Sep 2, 2023 to Aug 31, 2025.
