Mechanisms involved in the selective transfer of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to the fetus

1 Jan 2011

Abstract excerpt

The concentration of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) in the fetal brain increases dramatically from the third trimester until 18 months of life. Several studies have shown an association between the percentage of maternal plasma docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) during gestation and development of cognitive functions in the neonate. Since only very low levels of LCPUFA are synthesized in the fetus and...
