Which placental phospholipid fatty acids showed significant correlations with maternal dietary intake?
Label:chem
Topic
Pearson correlations and linear regression models were used to analyze associations between maternal fatty acid intake and placental phospholipid fatty acid percentages, adjusting for confounders.
Answer
Only docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intake showed significant correlations (r = 0.469, p < 0.001) with placental phospholipid DHA percentage. Myristic, stearic, oleic, and α-linolenic acids exhibited modest correlations (r ≤ 0.33), while arachidonic acid (ARA) and other fatty acids showed no significant associations.
