dc.description.abstractIntroduction Genetic and environmental factors influence the risk of neural tube defects (NTD), congenital malformations characterized by abnormal brain and spine formation. Mouse embryos deficient in Scavenger Receptor Class B Type 1 (SR-B1), which is involved in the bidirectional transfer of lipids between lipoproteins and cells, exhibit a high prevalence of exencephaly, preventable by maternal vitamin E supplementation. SR-B1 knock-out (KO) embryos are severely deficient in vitamin E and show elevated reactive oxygen species levels during neurulation.Methods We fed SR-B1 heterozygous female mice a high-fat/high-sugar (HFHS) diet and evaluated the vitamin E and oxidative status in dams and embryos from heterozygous intercrosses. We also determined the incidence of NTD.Results and discussion HFHS-fed SR-B1 HET females exhibited altered glucose metabolism and excess circulating lipids, along with a higher incidence of embryos with developmental delay and NTD. Vitamin E supplementation partially mitigated HFHS-induced maternal metabolic abnormalities and completely prevented embryonic malformations, likely through indirect mechanisms involving the reduction of oxidative stress and improved lipid handling by the parietal yolk sac.
