“…The consumption of saturated fat should be limited in favor of the consumption of the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) n-3 (linolenic acid) and n-6 (linoleic acid), which are the most important fatty acids for fetal growth and development. A total intake of n-3 in the amount of 2.7 g/day is considered safe during pregnancy [ 77 ], while additional fish oil supplementation gives inconclusive results [ 83 ]. The recommended weight gain in pregnancy amounts to on average 8–12 kg, depending on the initial body weight ( Table 3 ) [ 78 ].…”

“…Omega-3 PUFAs are beneficial in the regulation of maternal and fetal metabolic function, inflammation, immunity, macrosomia, oxidative stress, pre-eclampsia, FGR, preterm birth, offspring metabolic function, and neurodevelopment. 17 PUFAs have antioxidant activity, thus dietary supplementation of these substances during pregnancy has the potential to prevent or control placental disorders and promote fetal growth. 18 In our study, maternal FAs levels showed different behaviors in pregnant women with FGR and AGA fetuses.…”

“…The FFAR4 expression may be influenced by polymorphisms, so, they can influence the therapeutic consequences of Omega-3 PUFA administration. Supplementation with Omega-6 PUFAs indicated an increase in the AA levels in GDM which is associated with improved insulin sensitivity, glucose levels, and reducing obesity [ 40 ]. The beneficial effect of ω-3 and ω-6 FAs in GDM patients and their offspring have been reported while their role in GDM prevention is unclear.…”
