Serumn-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are inversely associated with longitudinal changes in depressive symptoms during pregnancy

Abstract: We found a high prevalence of depressive symptoms in low-income Brazilian pregnant women and no significant associations between n-6 FA and depressive symptoms. Lower serum concentrations of DHA, EPA and DPA and a higher n-6/n-3 ratio at each pregnancy trimester were associated with higher odds of depressive symptoms throughout pregnancy.

“…Moreover, our study also showed pregnant women with PND tend to have higher levels of AA and n-6 PUFAs. This is further supported by other observational studies indicating that higher levels of EPA and DHA act as protective factor from MDD while a higher n-6/n-3 ratio acts as a risk factor of MDD in pregnant women (De Vriese et al, 2003;Pinto et al, 2016). Moreover, higher concentrations of DHA in breast milk and greater seafood consumption (rich in DHA) have been associated with lower prevalence rates of postpartum depression (Hibbeln, 2002).…”

“…For examples, prenatal depressive symptoms are associated with lower plasma DHA in Japanese population (Shiraishi et al, 2015). Another association study further indicates that patients with higher level of EPA and DHA have lowered risks for developing depressive symptoms (De Vriese et al, 2003), while a higher omega-6 (n-6)/n-3 ratio increases the odds of having depressive symptoms (De Vriese et al, 2003;Pinto et al, 2016). In contrast to the supporting evidence of PUFAs in PND, Sallis et al (Sallis et al, 2014) only found weak associations between n-3 PUFAs and PND.…”

“…ОБЗОРЫ эффекты, связанные с приемом омега-3 ПНЖК во время беременности: увеличение объема околоплодных вод при маловодии [18]; эффективная профилактика депрессии во время беременности и после родов [19]; профилактика сниженной массы тела при рождении (в частности, крупномасштабное исследование 12 373 беременных показало, что низкие концентрации омега-3 ПНЖК в плазме крови были связаны с более низкой массой тела новорожденных (отношение шансов 1:4) [4]); снижение риска развития аллергий у детей [20] (например, пищевая аллергия на яйца встречалась только у 9% детей, рожденных от матерей, получавших 900 мг/сут омега-3 ПНЖК во время беременности, а в контроле -у 15% детей). Дети от матерей, получавших дотации омега-3 ПНЖК во время беременности, имели более высокую степень восприятия и воспроизведения речи по шкалам МакАртура и Бейли на 12, 14 и 18-й месяцы жизни [21].…”
