Maternal and umbilical fatty acid status and mother's diet analyzed.
2003 FEB 6 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Researchers have analyzed mothers' diets in relation to maternal and umbilical fatty acid status.
"The aim of this study was to describe the dietary fat intake during pregnancy and to study the relationship between the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the fatty acid composition of maternal and umbilical plasma phospholipids (PLs) and cholesterol esters (CEs) at delivery. In addition, the contribution of food groups to the intake of total fat and fatty acids in the diet was quantified. Maternal and umbilical blood samples were collected at delivery from 30 healthy pregnant women. The women completed a food frequency questionnaire during the first and third trimesters," researchers in Belgium reported.
"The total fat intake during pregnancy was 85 (SD 24) g/day. The mean intake of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) was 33.4 g/day, of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) 28.6 g/day, and of PUFA 15.2 g/day. Major sources of fat, MUFA and PUFA were fats, oils and sauces. Major sources of SFA were meat and poultry followed by cheese and eggs," wrote S.R. De Vriese and colleagues, Ghent University Hospital.
"Meat and poultry contribute the most to the intake of 20:4n-6 whereas fish is the major source of 20:5n-3 (EPA) and 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the diet."
"Linoleic acid, EPA and DHA (w%) in PL of maternal ...
