High polyunsaturated fatty acid, thromboxane A2, and alpha-fetoprotein concentrations at the human feto-maternal interface
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) like arachidonic (C20:4) and docosahexaenoic (C22:6) acids are essential for harmonious fetal development. This study evaluates, at near term, the distributions of free fatty acids (FFA) and their fetal carrier protein, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in the maternal (M) a...
