Placental oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathophysiology of several placenta-related
disorders including intrauterine growth restriction. Oxidative stress occurs when …

Despite the well-known benefits of omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)
supplementation on human health, relatively little is known about the effect of n-3 PUFA …

Pregnancy represents a state of heightened oxidative stress and inflammation, and these
processes are further increased in pregnancy complications. The quality of the maternal diet …

The maternal n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) deficiency on decidual vascular
structure and angiogenesis in mice placenta was investigated. Namely, we studied uterine …

Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially omega-3 (n-3) and n-6 long-chain
(LC) PUFAs, are indispensable for the fetus' brain supplied by the placenta. Despite being …
