Placental 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 کاملEffects of LC-PUFA (Long Chain Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids) in Infancy
LC-PUFA (Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids) is those polyunsaturated fatty acids which have more than 20 carbon atoms and 2 or more double bindings. Most important LC-PUFA are EPA or Eicosapentaenoic acid (C 20:5 n-3), AA or Arachidonic acid (C 20:4 n-6) and DHA or Docosahexaenoic Acid (C 22:6 n-3). LCPUFA is important for the structural and functional development of an infant. Such as low...
متن کاملSynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in preterm newborns fed formula with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.
BACKGROUND Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPs) that play pivotal roles in growth and neurodevelopment. OBJECTIVE We aimed to quantify the synthesis of LCPs in preterm infants fed infant formula containing LCPs. DESIGN Twenty-two preterm infants were randomly assigned to either the no-LCP group (fed formula without LCPs; n = ...
متن کاملFatty acid transfer from sow to piglet differs for different polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA).
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are essential for the development of the nervous system in animals. It is known that pigs are good models for human in many aspects. The aim of the study was to investigate how fat content and FA composition in sows' diet influence FA composition in brain of newborn and in liver and brain of one-day-old piglets, respectively. High fat (6 %) feeds were designed...
متن کاملDifferential Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Status and Placental Transport in Adolescent Pregnancies
Adolescent pregnancy increases risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. Placental delivery of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) is essential for fetal growth and development. In this pilot study, we aimed to assess maternal and fetal status of fatty acids (FA) measured at birth and the expression of key genes involved in FA uptake, transport and metabolism in the placenta of fifteen ad...
