Research identifies how gestational diabetes affects fatty acid profiles, suggesting placental dysfunction influences fetal nutrition.
FA profiles in mother, placenta, and fetus were affected by GDM despite glycemic management, especially in omega-3 and omega-6 LC PUFAs. This finding indicates that addressing fetal FA deficiency may depend on correcting placental dysfunction rather than solely increasing maternal FA supplementation, offering insights for developing nutritional and therapeutic strategies for GDM.
