The aim of the current study was to estimate total intake and dietary sources of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentanoic (DPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and compare DHA intakes with the recommended intakes in a cohort of pregnant and lactating women. Twenty-four-hour dietary recalls and supplement intake questionnaires were collected from 600 women in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) cohort at each trimester of pregnancy and 3 months postpartum. Dietary intake was…

Results suggest that the majority of high SES women did not meet ω-3 recommendations from food alone, and Continued prenatal education on the importance of fish intake and on the addition of ψ-3 prenatal supplement is essential.

Simple dietary criteria to improve serum n-3 fatty acid levels of mothers and their infants

An overall healthy diet and persistent consumption of fish at least once weekly throughout pregnancy or more frequent fish intake three times per week increases n-3 FA in serum phospholipids of both mothers and their infants.

Very low inadequate dietary intakes of essential n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in pregnant and lactating French women: The INCA2 survey.

Breastmilk PUFA strongly associated with maternal dietary intake but not anthropometric parameters and breastmilk carotenoids.

The Concentration of Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Human Milk Is Related to Their Habitual but Not Current Intake

It is suggested that current omega-3 FA intake does not translate directly into their concentration in human milk, on the contrary, their habitual intake seems to markedly influence their milk concentration.

Maternal Dietary Fatty Acids and Their Relationship to Derived Endocannabinoids in Human Milk

The findings suggest that endocannabinoid concentrations could be modulated by dietary precursors, and future research studies can be designed based on these data to better elucidate the roles of endoc cannabinoidoids in human milk for infant health and development.

Breast milk fatty acid composition and fatty acid intake of lactating mothers in South Korea

Fat content and FA composition of breast milk were associated with maternal age, BMI, supplement use and infant age, and dietary intakes of EPA, DHA, n-3 FA,n-6 FA, SFA and PUFA were positively correlated with the corresponding FA in the milk samples.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation in prevention and treatment of maternal depression: Putative mechanism and recommendation.

Inadequate dietary α-linolenic acid intake among Indonesian pregnant women is associated with lower newborn weights in urban Jakarta.

Inadequate maternal intake of α-linolenic acid, but not omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic Acid, or eicosapentaenoic acid was associated with lower birth weight, suggesting enhanced promotion of consumption of foods rich in essential fatty acids during pregnancy may facilitate attaining optimal infant weight in urban areas.

The effect of fish oil supplementation on serum phospholipid fatty acids profile during pregnancy: A double blind randomized controlled trial

The dietary recommendation for consumption of 1,000 mg/day fish oil supplements during pregnancy seems beneficial for better serum FA composition, as fish oil supplementation significantly increased the mean DHA proportion of total FAs in the intervention compared to the placebo group at weeks 35–37.

Consumption of DHA + EPA by low-income women during pregnancy and lactation.

The hypothesis that low-income pregnant/or lactating women do not consume advisable amounts of DHA+EPA is tested and whether any of the measured demographic factors were related to DHA and EPA consumption is determined.

Intakes of essential n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids among pregnant Canadian women.

The low intake of DHA among some pregnant women highlights the need for studies to address the functional significance of maternal fat intakes during pregnancy on fetal development.

The roles of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in pregnancy, lactation and infancy: review of current knowledge and consensus recommendations

Current knowledge on the role of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, DHA, docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid, in maternal and term infant nutrition as well as infant development is reviewed.

Directly quantitated dietary (n-3) fatty acid intakes of pregnant Canadian women are lower than current dietary recommendations.

Nutritional education of pregnant women to ensure adequate intakes of (n-3) PUFA for optimal health of mother and child and the inclusion of DHA in prenatal vitamins may be pertinent.

Proportions and concentrations of serum n-3 fatty acids can be increased by dietary counseling during pregnancy

Maternal serum n-3 FA status during pregnancy can be improved by dietary means emphasizing the importance of dietary advice, as seen in the FA of cholesteryl esters and triacylglycerols.

Dietary arachidonic acid to EPA and DHA balance is increased among Canadian pregnant women with low fish intake.

Median fish and DHA intakes below the recommended 1-2 servings/wk fish for pregnant women suggest major changes in the availability, cost, or acceptance of fish are needed.

Depressive symptoms during pregnancy in relation to fish consumption and intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Although pregnant women may be at risk for low concentrations of EPA and DHA, an association between low intakes of EPA+DHA and increased depressive symptoms was only observed among current smokers and women of single marital status.

Effect of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid intake during pregnancy on maternal, infant, and child health outcomes: a systematic review.

Mixed findings in observational studies revealed mixed findings, with several large studies reporting positive associations between fish intake and birthweight and several reporting no associations, and more studies in low- and middle-income countries are needed to determine any effect of n-3 LCPUFA supplementation in resource-poor settings.

Effect of α-linolenic acid supplementation during pregnancy on maternal and neonatal polyunsaturated fatty acid status and pregnancy outcome

Maternal ALA+LA supplementation did not prevent decreases in maternal DHA and AA concentrations during pregnancy and, compared with LA supplementation, did not increase maternal and neonatal DHA concentrations but significantly increased eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3) and docosapentenoic Acid (22:5 n- 3) concentrations.

Dietary intake of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids: contribution of meat sources.

Meat is a major source of LCn3PUFA, particularly DPA, for most Australians, and when DPA is included in the definition of LCN3PUFAs, almost half the average adult intake appears to originate from meat sources.
