Placental transfer of fatty acids.
Information derived from animal investigations using labelled thtty acid infusions and measurements of the fatty acid concentrations found in the various fractions i n maternal and foetal umbilical artery and venous blood and tissues have shown that the net flux of fatty acid from mother t o foetus across the placenta varies greatly from species to species. In general, in those species with mat...
متن کاملPlacental transfer of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA).
Considerable evidence exists for marked beneficial effects of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) during pregnancy. The omega-3 LC-PUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is incorporated in large amounts in fetal brain and other tissues during the second half of pregnancy, and several studies have provided evidence for a link between early DHA status of the mother and visual and co...
متن کاملPlacental transfer of essential fatty acids in humans: venous-arterial difference for docosahexaenoic acid in fetal umbilical erythrocytes.
Docosahexaenoic acid [22:6(n-3); 22:6(4,-7,10,13,16,19) (DHA)] is required in quantity by the developing nervous system of the fetus. This need could be met through synthesis of DHA from linolenic acid in the fetus or through placental transfer of DHA directly. To study the placental transfer of n-3 fatty acids, we obtained umbilical and maternal blood samples from 26 healthy women and infants ...
متن کاملFetal placental thrombosis and neonatal implications.
We present the neonatal complications of two premature newborn infants whose placentas demonstrated placental thrombosis in the fetal circulation. Both mothers presented with a 3-day history of decreased fetal movements before delivery. The first infant presented with thrombocytopenia and disseminated intravascular coagulation. The second infant had extended bilateral extended hemorrhagic venou...
متن کاملHuman placenta metabolizes fatty acids: implications for fetal fatty acid oxidation disorders and maternal liver diseases.
The role of fat metabolism during human pregnancy and in placental growth and function is poorly understood. Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation disorders in an affected fetus are associated with maternal diseases of pregnancy, including preeclampsia, acute fatty liver of pregnancy, and the hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets syndrome called HELLP. We have investigated the devel...
