“…The low level of lipid synthesis exhibited by the pig fetus does not appear to be related to a lack of substrate availability from maternal sources but rather to innate hormonal control of lipogenesis (Kasser et al 1983). De novo lipogenesis and triacylglycerol synthesis in the porcine fetus are enhanced by insulin (Kasser et al 1981) and are affected by various hormones arising from the central nervous system, in particular the hypothalamus and pituitary glands (Martin et al 1985) with growth hormone appearing to have an inhibitory effect on these processes (Kasser et al 1983). The molecular mechanisms relating to the synthesis of fatty acids and principal lipid classes including triacylglycerols and phospholipids have been reviewed elsewhere (Farnworth & Kramer, 1987).…”

The present review focuses on the importance of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) provision for the normal development of the pig neonate. The review describes first the selected fatty acid composition of a range of porcine tissues including nervous tissues, muscle and adipose tissues, reproductive organs and immune-responsive organs and/or cells. The importance of PUFA to the functioning of the immune system of the neonate is considered briefly and is followed by an indepth consideration of the sources of PUFA for the neonatal pig. The effects of different categories or specific types of fatty acid (i.e. non-essential, linoleic, a-linolenic, long-chain n-6 and n-3 PUFA) on various indices of pig neonatal growth are reviewed. The importance of n-3 PUFA supply to the fetal and early neonatal pig is underlined and evidence is presented for more attention to be given to the amounts available from maternal sources. Based on the material reviewed, recommendations are made on the dietary intake of PUFA in the gestating pig. Polyunsaturated fatty acids: Neonatal nutrition: Pig

“…There are several published reviews that appraise the hormonal aspects of adipocyte development in vitro (Hausman et al, 1980;Hiragun, 1985;Van, 1985;Vannier et al, 1985) and in vivo (Allen, 1976;Hausman, 1985;Martin et al, 1985b;York, 1985). The establishment of several "preadipocyte" cell lines has led to the propagation of a vast amount of literature concerned with various aspects of adipocyte differentiation (Hiragun, 1985;Vannier et al, 1985).…”
