Fatty acids (FAs) are fundamental for a foetus's growth, serving as an energy source, structural constituents of cellular membranes and precursors bioactive molecules, well being essential cell signalling. Long-chain polyunsaturated FAs (LC-PUFAs) pivotal in brain visual development. It is interest to investigate whether how specific pregnancy conditions, which alter fatty acid metabolism (excessive pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) or gestational weight gain (GWG)), affect lipid supply...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and inflammatory risk indexes are used to calculate the exposure morbidity. Most of them suggested by American College Cardiology/American Heart Association predict CVDs diagnosis in primary prevention, instead treating ongoing pathology. Prevention starts from habit changes with prescription diet physical activity (PA). The aim study is investigate effectiveness a personalized Mediterranean Diet (MD) PA intervention, on Atherogenic Index Plasma (AIP), Lipid...
Regular foetal development is crucial for assuring good health status in the offspring. The quality and quantity of maternal dietary fatty acids (FAs) can affect growth. study aimed to: (1) investigate association maternal/foetal lipid profiles with birth weight (BW); (2) compare these small, appropriate, large gestational age (SGA, AGA, LGA) infants. FAs were measured erythrocyte membranes using gas chromatography analysis 607 mother–infant pairs (316 males, 52.1%). In quantile regression,...
