variations in phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (pap) activity and triacylglycerol concentration were measured in pregnant and hormone-treated non-pregnant female rats. pap activity in adipose tissue was elevated by 61% during pregnancy. the increase in the enzyme activity was paralleled with a rise in serum triacylglycerol concentration (44%). estradiol injecting into non-pregnant rats increased ...

The liver is one of many organs affected by the physiological changes occurring during gestation. Hepatic excretion of bilirubins may be impaired in the second half of normal pregnancy. However, the liver tests are usually normal. Abnormal liver tests can be found in about 10% of pregnancies. Severe liver disease complicates pregnancy in only 0.1% of the cases. Among the serious liver enzyme ab...
