Objectives: The aim of the present study was to analyze the possible changes caused by the maternal ingestion of different types of fatty acids during pregnancy in the pro-inflammatory state in the odontogenesis of fetuses. Subject and Methods: For this, 24 jaws (n=6 per group) of Wistar rats were collected on the 20th day of intrauterine life. Mothers were separated on the first day of pregnancy into 4 groups according to diet, as described below: Control group (C) – diet with soy oil as a source of fat, group (S) – diet with rich lard in saturated fatty acids, group (T) – diet with vegetable fat rich in trans-saturated fatty acids and group (PUFA) – diet with fish oil, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Results: In the microscopic analysis, the results showed no alterations in the tissue development of the teeth between the groups with different lipid diets (T, S and PUFA) when compared to the control group (C) and the immunohistochemical analysis for the expression of JAK2, STAT3, P-STAT3, SOCS3 and IL-6 showed no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) compared to the control group. However, there were changes (p<0.05) between the T group and the PUFA group in the expression of JAK2. Conclusion: Thus, lipid consumption in the maternal diet remains a topic to be explored in embryonic development, despite not causing morphological changes to the tooth germ of rats.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
