It is well established that marine n-3 fatty acids measured in erythrocyte phospholipids of
non-pregnant subjects reflect the subjects intake of these fatty acids. In 135 pregnant women …

It has been hypothesized that marine n-3 fatty acids ingested during pregnancy prolong
duration of pregnancy and increase fetal growth rate in humans. By a combined self …

Background. Assessing the relationship between fatty fish intake, the main source of N‐3
polyunsaturated fatty acids and maternal and fetal levels in erythrocytes at labor. Methods …

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of fish oil supplementation in
pregnancy on maternal erythrocyte fatty acid composition at different stages of pregnancy …

Gestation is longer in Faroese than Danish women, possibly because of the high intake of
marine long-chain n-3 fatty acids that down regulates formation of prostaglandins from …

We aimed to investigate the effects of fish oil (FO) supplementation to pregnant women on
the maternal and fetal fatty acid profile in plasma and erythrocyte phospholipids (PL) and to …

To examine the effect of fish oil supplementation on the fatty acid (FA) composition of human
milk and maternal and infant erythrocytes, five lactating women were supplemented with 6 g …

Healthy pregnant women (n 23) were supplemented with fish-oil capsules (2· 7 g n-3
polyunsaturated fatty acids/d) from the 30th week of gestation until delivery. Subjects in a …

Ethnicity-related differences in maternal n-3 and n-6 fatty acid status may be relevant to
ethnic disparities in birth outcomes observed worldwide. The present study explored …

The proportion of long-chain polyunsaturated derivatives of linoleic and linolenic acids in the
erythrocyte lipids of infants fed a cow's milk formula was lower than in breast-fed infants …
