The essential fatty acid status of mother and child in pregnancy-induced hypertension: a prospective longitudinal study

Article Abstract:

High blood pressure in pregnancy may not be caused by changes in the essential fatty acid status of the mother. Maternal high blood pressure may not hurt the newborn's essential fatty acid status. Researchers analyzed blood samples taken at different stages of pregnancy from pregnant women with and without high blood pressure. No significant differences in essential fatty acid status were seen before 32 weeks of pregnancy in women with and without high blood pressure. This suggests that the change in fatty acid levels after 32 weeks in women with high blood pressure is not a cause of high blood pressure but a result of it. Cervonic acid levels were higher in women with high blood pressure, but cervonic acid therapy for high blood pressure may still be acceptable.

Lipid peroxide and vitamin E patterns in pregnant women with different types of hypertension in pregnancy

Article Abstract:

There may be different forms of hypertension during pregnancy. Researchers measured the levels of fat peroxides in the blood and placenta and vitamin E in the blood in a study of 36 healthy pregnant women and 92 pregnant women with various types of hypertension. Women with severe gestational hypertension or preeclampsia had lower levels of vitamin E and higher levels of fat peroxides than women with mild gestational hypertension or chronic hypertension not related to pregnancy. Women with mild gestational hypertension or chronic hypertension had values similar to the healthy women.

Effects of pregnancy-induced hypertension on the essential fatty acid statuses of Ecuadorian and Dutch women

Article Abstract:

Pregnancy-induced hypertension does not increase blood levels of long-chain fatty acids in Ecuadorian women. In white Dutch women with pregnancy-induced hypertension, blood levels of 18:2n-6 and 18:3n-3 fatty acids increase but levels of their parent compounds decrease. However, this was not seen in a study of Mestizo Ecuadorian women with pregnancy-induced hypertension.
