A randomized longitudinal dietary intervention study during pregnancy: effects on fish intake, phospholipids, and body composition

Abstract

Background: Fish and meat intake may affect gestational weight gain, body composition and serum fatty acids. We aimed to determine whether a longitudinal dietary intervention during pregnancy could increase fish intake, affect serum phospholipid fatty acids, gestational weight gain and body composition changes during pregnancy in women of normal weight participating in the Pregnancy Obesity Nutrition and Child Health study. A second aim was to study possible effects in early pregnancy of fish intake and meat intake, respectively, on serum phospholipid fatty acids, gestational weight gain, and body composition changes during pregnancy. Methods: In this prospective, randomized controlled study, women were allocated to a control group or to a dietary counseling group that focused on increasing fish intake. Fat mass and fat-free mass were measured by air-displacement plethysmography. Reported intake of fish and meat was collected from a baseline population and from a subgroup of women who participated in each trimester of their pregnancies. Serum levels of phospholipid arachidonic acid (s-ARA), eicosapentaenoic acid (s-EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (s-DHA) were measured during each trimester.

Strawberry-Tree Honey Induces Growth Inhibition of Human Colon Cancer Cells and Increases ROS Generation: A Comparison with Manuka Honey

“…Hakim et al reported an IC 50 value of Gelam honey from Malaysia that was 75 mg/mL on HCT-116 cells [34]. Furthermore, using the same honey, the IC 50 values were observed as 39, 80 and 88 mg/mL, respectively, on other colon cancer cells by a different research group [31,32,33]. …”

“…Only a few studies have evaluated the anticancer activity of honey on human colon cancer in vitro by targeting the different molecular mechanisms [29,30,31,32,33,34]. Among these, only one study reported the cytotoxic effect of MH on colon cancer and, to date, there are no data on the biological effects of STH on cancer.…”

El Impacto De La Educación Alimentaria Nutricional en El Embarazo: Una Revisión De Las Experiencias De Intervención.

“…Las unidades de análisis según el ámbito geográfico de procedencia muestran un predominio de investigaciones provenientes de Asia (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) seguidas por las experiencias de América del Norte (24-34), Europa (35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42), América Latina (43-49) y en menor medida las procedentes de Oceanía (50-51) y África (52-53).…”

“…Bosaeus M. y cols. 2015 (35) Suecia El consumo semanal de pescado aumentó en el GI, desde el primer al segundo trimestre (p= 0,03) y desde el segundo al tercer trimestre (p= 0,01). En el primer trimestre el consumo de pescado se correlacionó con los valores serológicos de EPA (r= 0,36, p= 0,002) y de DHA (r= 0,34, p= 0,005) y el consumo de carne se correlacionó con los valores serológicos de ARA (r= 0,28, p= 0,02).…”

“…Dada la relevancia que el aporte dietético de ácido docosahexaenoico (DHA) presenta durante el embarazo, fue el propósito de otras tres investigaciones mejorar la ingesta de este nutriente promoviendo el consumo seguro de pescado, objetivo que en todos los casos se logró mediante la intervención nutricional (27,35,50). Por otro lado, en el estudio realizado por Oken E. y cols.…”
