TL;DR: The hypothesis was that maternal intake of DHA during pregnancy and lactation is marginal and that high intake of this fatty acid would benefit the child, and the effect of supplementing pregnant and lactating women with very-long- chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs; cod liver oil) on mental development of the children, compared with maternal supplementation with long-chain n-6 PUFAs (corn oil).

TL;DR: The expression of leptin was found in primary cultures of normal human osteoblasts as evidenced by reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) and immunocytochemistry and release of leptin into the medium also was found.

TL;DR: Folic acid supplements during early pregnancy seem to reduce the risk of isolated cleft lip (with or without cleft palate) by about a third, and other vitamins and dietary factors may provide additional benefit.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid for human milk-fed preterm infants was evaluated at 6 months of age by using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire and event-related potentials.

TL;DR: Monitoring of maternal plasma concentration of adiponectin, resistin, and leptin and their mRNA expression in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue and placenta from preeclamptic and healthy pregnant women undergoing caesarean section found similar mean mRNA levels of adipo-resistin, Resistin mRNA levels in Placenta were not significantly different between PE and HP, whereas leptin mRNA levels were higher in PE placentA compared with HP.
