摘要: Essential fatty acids (EFAs) and their long-chain polyenes (LCPs) are indispensable for human development health. Because humans cannot synthesize EFAs can only ineffectively LCPs, need to be consumed as part of the diet. Consequently, polyunsaturated acid (PUFA) status developing fetus depends on that its mother, confirmed by positive relation between maternal PUFA consumption neonatal status. Pregnancy is associated with a decrease in biochemical status, normalization after delivery slow. This particularly true docosahexaenoic (DHA) because, basis current habitual diet, birth spacing appeared insufficient DHA normalize completely. during pregnancy, may not optimal. view supported lower multiple than single births. The increased supplementation pregnancy. For optimum results, supplement should contain both n-6 n-3 PUFAs. preterm neonates significantly term infants, which physiologic condition. correlates positively weight, length, head circumference, pregnancy improve prognosis infants.
