概括
人类胎儿在很大程度上依赖于母体脂肪酸 (FA),特别是DHA,因为自我合成有限. 孕产妇的营养和胎盘健康对胎儿发育至关重要.
科学领域:
- 生物化学 生物化学
- 人体生理学 人体生理学
- 营养科学 营养科学
背景情况:
- 人类胎儿*de novo*脂肪酸 (FA) 生物合成的程度在很大程度上是未知的.
- 了解胎儿的FA代谢对于评估怀孕期间的营养需求至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 研究人类胎儿中非必需的FA和内源性长链多不和FA (PUFA) 的新生生物合成.
- 确定胎儿对母体提供FA的依赖程度,特别是多可沙赫萨酸 (DHA).
主要方法:
- 利用稳定同位素比质谱法 (IRMS) 测量39对母胎脂体的血中碳同位素比 (δ13C).
- 在母体和带血液中分析了关键FA (C16:0,C18:0,C18:1n-9,C18:2n-6,C20:4n-6,C22:6n-3) 的δC值.
- 在母亲和胎儿之间比较了FA δ 13 C值,并评估了母体DHA补充剂 (藻类与鱼油) 对胎儿FA概况的影响.
主要成果:
- 观察到母亲和胎儿之间所有测量的FA的δ13C值之间存在强烈的线性相关性 (r > 0.80).
- 在母体和胎儿血之间没有发现FA δ 13C值的显著差异,这表明胎儿*de novo*FA合成最小.
- 与鱼油或没有补充剂相比,母体用藻类DHA补充剂导致血脂中的DHA δ 13 C值显著降低.
结论:
- 人类胎儿对母体血FA,特别是DHA的胎盘转移严重依赖.
- 胎儿对主要FA的有限内源生物合成强调了母亲营养和胎盘功能的关键作用.
- 这些发现强调了母亲摄入足够的必需的FA对于最佳胎儿发育的重要性.

¹³C NMR: ¹H–¹³C Decoupling
1.0K
The probability of having two carbon-13 atoms next to each other is negligible because of the low natural abundance of carbon-13. Consequently, peak splitting due to carbon-carbon spin-spin coupling is not observed in spectra. However, protons up to three sigma bonds away split the carbon signal according to the n+1 rule, resulting in complicated spectra.
A broadband decoupling technique is used to simplify these complex, sometimes overlapping, signals. Broadband decoupling relies on a...

Carbon-13 (¹³C) NMR: Overview
5.5K
Carbon-13 is a naturally occurring NMR-active isotope of carbon with a low natural abundance of 1.1%. In contrast, carbon-12 is the most abundant isotope of carbon with zero nuclear spin. Therefore, it is NMR inactive. The gyromagnetic ratio of carbon-13 is smaller than that of protons. As a result, carbon-13 resonance is about 6000 times weaker than proton resonance. For a given magnetic field strength, the resonance frequency of carbon-13 is about one-fourth of the resonance frequency for...

Fetal Circulation

Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
