Effect of HCAL diet exposure on fetal brain fatty acid profiles. No effect of metformin. Fetuses were exposed to either a normal (NORM) or a high calorie (HCAL) maternal diet (±metformin, MET), as described in the Methods. The saturated fatty acids (SFA, a), monounsaturated FA (MUFA, b), polyunsaturated FA (PUFA, c), and n3 FA (d) profiles of the fetal brains were determined on embryonic day 19. Data are shown as mean ± SD
