Abstract
Introduction: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) play an important role in fetal growth and development. In Mexico, 76.8 % of women of reproductive age are overweight and obese, which is associated with the development of gestational complications. EPA and DHA fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory effect, reducing the risk of developing complications.
Objective: to evaluate the erythrocyte and dietary profile of omega-3 fatty acids in overweight and obese pregnant women.
Materials and methods: a prospective, cross-sectional, comparative and observational study in pregnant women with less than 14 weeks of gestation. Dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids was evaluated by dietary diary; and levels of omega-3 fatty acids in erythrocyte membranes were evaluated by gas chromatography.
Results: the mean dietary intake of EPA and DHA fatty acids was 0.027 g and 0.095 g, respectively. The erythrocyte profile was 2.90 for EPA and 1.50 DHA, no differences between normal and overweight women was found.
Conclusion: the dietary intake and erythrocyte profile of omega-3 of pregnant women is lower than the reference parameters, with no significant differences between normal and overweight women.
期刊介绍:
The journal Nutrición Hospitalaria was born following the SENPE Bulletin (1981-1983) and the SENPE journal (1984-1985). It is the official organ of expression of the Spanish Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism. Throughout its 36 years of existence has been adapting to the rhythms and demands set by the scientific community and the trends of the editorial processes, being its most recent milestone the achievement of Impact Factor (JCR) in 2009. Its content covers the fields of the sciences of nutrition, with special emphasis on nutritional support.
