Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the blood of pregnant women who have consumed omega-3 supplements and golden flaxseed oil

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate serum levels of docosahexaenoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) in the blood of pregnant women who received omega 3 supplementation through ingestion of capsules or linseed oil. Comparing the groups, there was a higher level for flax oil for AA and DHA contents, indicating that supplementation favored the metabolic pathway of both eicosanoid intermediates formation.

摘要：本研究旨在评估通过服用胶囊或亚麻籽油补充Omega-3的孕妇血液中二十二碳六烯酸（docosahexaenoic, DHA）与二十碳五烯酸（eicosapentaenoic, EPA）的血清水平。经组间比较后发现，亚麻籽油组的花生四烯酸（arachidonic acid, AA）与DHA含量更高，提示该Omega-3补充方式可促进两类类二十烷酸中间体形成的代谢通路。
