Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled “Perinatal Lipid Nutrition”.
Nutritional status and health in pregnancy make up an important area of research, mainly due to the preventive strategies in pathological and development patterns during child and adulthood, according to Baker’s hypothesis on the fetal origins of adults’ diseases.
Appropriate perinatal nutrition might mitigate the impact of risk factors in terms of morbidity in the neonatal period and infancy. Molecular and biological pathways from maternal diet have the potential to cause lifelong phenotypic changes to infants. In particular, the long-chain polyunsaturated n-6 and n-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients, with an impact on membrane biogenesis and the regulation of gene expression via their eicosanoid metabolites.
The aim of this Special Issue is to improve the current knowledge on the impact of perinatal lipid intake on infants’ health. Submissions of original research and review articles that cover gaps in knowledge on the importance of lipid nutrition in perinatal period are encouraged.
Dr. Stefania Triunfo
Guest Editor
