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 \u00b5L) 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\u201310; 6 g\/kg, GD 11\u201320). 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.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15061411","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,15]],"date-time":"2023-03-15T04:39:45Z","timestamp":1678855185000},"page":"1411","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Untargeted and Targeted Blood Lipidomic Signature Profile of Gestational Alcohol Exposure"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Vishal D.","family":"Naik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, C.S.
