LID - 10.3390/nu15061411 [doi] LID - 1411 AB - Alcohol consumption has a close relationship with blood lipid levels in a nonpregnant state, with a myriad of effects on the liver; however, little is known about the interaction of alcohol and lipids in the context of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). We herein aimed to determine the effect of alcohol on the lipid profile in a pregnant rat model, with a focus on FASD. Dry blood spots (50 microL) were obtained from rat maternal blood collected on gestational day (GD) 20, two hours after the last binge alcohol exposure (4.5 g/kg, GD 5-10; 6 g/kg, GD 11-20). The samples were then analyzed using high-throughput untargeted and targeted lipid profiling via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In untargeted lipidomics, 73 of 315 identified lipids were altered in the alcohol group compared to the pair-fed controls; 67 were downregulated and 6 were upregulated. In targeted analysis, 57 of the 260 studied lipid subspecies were altered, including Phosphatidylcholine (PC), Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), Phosphatidylglycerol (PG), Phosphatidic Acid (PA), Phosphatidylinositol (PI), and Phosphatidylserine (PS); 36 of these were downregulated and 21 lipid subspecies were upregulated. These findings suggest alcohol-induced dysregulation of lipids in the maternal blood of rats and provide novel insights into possible FASD mechanisms.
