© 2018 The analysis of lipids in tough or fibrous biological tissues can be challenging due to difficulties in obtaining a representative sample following homogenisation of the tissue. Furthermore, the choice of normalisation method can have a major... Read More about Evaluation of extraction and normalisation strategies for the analysis of lipids in placental vessels.

Maternal obesity-induced decreases in plasma, hepatic and uterine polyunsaturated fatty acids during labour is reversed through improved nutrition at conception (2018)
Journal Article

Maternal obesity is associated with prolonged and dysfunctional labour, potentially through decreased synthesis of prostaglandins that stimulate myometrial contractions. We assessed the impact of maternal obesity on concentrations of precursor fatty...
