Fatty acid transport and metabolism in the feto-placental unit and the role of fatty acid-binding proteins

1997-10-01

Abstract excerpt

It is generally accepted that essential fatty acids (EFA) and their long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) derivatives play a crucial role in fetal development and pregnancy outcome, Surprisingly, however, little is known about the transport and metabolism of EFA and LCPUFA in the feto-placental unit. The critical importance of maternal LCPUFA synthesis and the subsequent preferential transport of these by...
