Maternal fatty acid desaturase genotype correlates with infant immune responses at 6 months.
Breast milk long-chain PUFA (LCPUFA) have been associated with changes in early life immune responses and may modulate T-cell function in infancy. We studied the effect of maternal fatty acid desaturase (FADS) genotype and breast milk LCPUFA levels on infants' blood T-cell profiles and ex vivo-produced cytokines after anti-CD3/CD28 stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in 6-month-ol...
متن کاملInfant Responses to Maternal Still Face at 9 Months Predict Social Abilities at 18 Months
BACKGROUND This study investigated developmental change and stability in infant responses to the still-face (SF) situation, as well as predictive validity at age 18 months, focusing on autonomy and responsiveness. METHODS A total of 231 children (117 boys and 114 girls) and their Japanese mothers were observed in a face-to-face SF situation at two infant ages (4 and 9 months), as well as a ca...
متن کاملA vertebrate fatty acid desaturase with 5 and 6 activities
5 and 6 fatty acid desaturases are critical enzymes in the pathways for the biosynthesis of the polyunsaturated fatty acids arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids. They are encoded by distinct genes in mammals and Caenorhabditis elegans. This paper describes a cDNA isolated from zebrafish (Danio rerio) with high similarity to mammalian 6 desaturase genes. The 1,590-bp sequence...
متن کاملMaternal regulation of infant reactivity from 2 to 6 months.
Previous research has investigated the effect of maternal soothing behaviors on reducing infant reactivity but not the differential effects of specific maternal behaviors on infant stress responses. The present study investigated maternal regulation of 2- and 6-month-olds' responses to an inoculation and found a significant decline with age in both the intensity and duration of infants' crying....
متن کاملPolyunsaturated fatty acids, maternal and infant immune responses and allergic disease in infancy
Background: The incidence of allergic diseases in industrialized countries has increased, and a relation between allergy and dietary fatty acids has been proposed. Modulation of the maternal immune function during pregnancy may have an impact on future clinical outcome in the child. Aim: The aim of this thesis was to add knowledge on the relationship between long chain polyunsaturated fatty aci...
