Lipid deposition and metabolism in rat placenta during gestation.

abstract：:The umbilical cord (UC) connects the fetal blood supply to the placenta, so is exposed to all systemic endo- and xenobiotics. We have extensive experience using UC as an analytical matrix for detecting and/or quantitating drugs, chemicals and endogenous compounds. This technical note describes advantages (large amount...
