TLDR
Data provide direct evidence for the role of p-FABPpm in preferential sequestration of maternal arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids by the placenta for transport to the fetus by virtue of its preferential binding of these fatty acids.About:

TL;DR: The results indicate that the majority of Australians are failing to meet intake recommendations for LC n−3 PUFA (>0.2 g per day) and emphasize the need for strategies, to increase the availability and consumption of n−2-containing foods.

Seafood consumption, the DHA content of mothers’ milk and prevalence rates of postpartum depression: a cross-national, ecological analysis
TL;DR: Both lower DHA content in mothers' milk and lower seafood consumption were associated with higher rates of postpartum depression, but this does not prove that higher omega-3 status cause lower prevalence rates ofPostpartum depressed symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Essential fatty acid transfer and fetal development.
TL;DR: Estimation of fetal tissue fatty acid accretion suggests that current preterm infant feeds are unlikely to meet in utero rates of 22:6n-3 accretion, and consideration needs to be given to whether fetal plasma 22: 6n- 3 and 20:4n-6 enrichment and the low 18:2n- 6 facilitates accretion of 22-6n -3 and 20-4-6 in developing tissues.

TL;DR: There have been indications that high intake of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) during pregnancy may increase birth weight and gestational length, and in addition, n- 3 long- chain PUFAs may be important for the neurobiological development of the infants.

Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid binding to plasma albumin.
TL;DR: A review of the available information about fatty acid binding to plasma albumin is presented, and stepwise association constants for binding to human albumin of fatty acids containing 6-18 carbon atoms indicate that each mole of fatty acid binds with a different affinity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversible binding of long-chain fatty acids to purified FAT, the adipose CD36 homolog.
TL;DR: Comparison of the predicted secondary sequence of CD36 with that of human muscle fatty acid binding protein suggested that a potential binding site for the fatty acid on CD36 may exist in its extracellular segment between residues 127 and 279.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid pattern of esterified and free fatty acids in sera of women with normal and pre-eclamptic pregnancy.
TL;DR: To determine the composition of esterified and free fatty acids in sera of women with normal and pre‐eclamptic pregnancy, data are collected on esters, fatty acids and cholesterol levels during and after pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preferential uptake of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids by isolated human placental membranes
TL;DR: The data suggest that EFA/LCPUFA bound to albumin are preferentially transported by human placental membranes and that the placental FABPpm may be involved in the sequestration of EFA / LCPUFA by the placenta.
