Alcohol exposure during late ovine gestation alters fetal liver iron homeostasis without apparent dysmorphology






High levels of alcohol (ethanol) exposure during fetal life can affect liver development and can increase susceptibility to infection after birth.

Our aim was to determine the effects of a moderate level of ethanol exposure in late gestation on the morphology, iron status, and inflammatory status of the ovine fetal liver. Pregnant ewes were
