1 Importance of a supplemental source of DHA during Pregnancy and Lactation Catherine J. Field PhD RD Professor of Nutrition, Co-Director of the Cancer Research Institute Faculties of Agriculture, Life and Environmental Sciences and Medicine and Dentistry University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
2 Outline What is DHA? Why is it important? Mom Infants Should we be concerned about maternal status of DHA? What are the opportunities for the functional nutrition, nutraceutical and supplement?
3 Objectives for this presentation 1. Understand the importance of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for maternal infant health 2. Learn the sources of DHA in the diet of mothers during pregnancy and when breast feeding 3. See evidence of why a supplement containing DHA improves moms status and the composition of her breast milk
4 What is Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)?
5 corn oil sunflower n-6 n-3 LA (linoleic acid) 18:2(n-6) Plant oil flax canola Δ6 desaturase ALA ( -linolenic acid) 18:3(n-3) 18:3(n-6) 20:3(n-6) elongase 18:4(n-3) 20:4(n-3) LCPUFA= n-3 and n-6 fatty acids 20C animal tissues AA 20:4(n-6) Δ5 desaturase EPA 20:5(n-3) elongase 24:5(n-3) 22:4(n-6) 22:5(n-6) elongase Δ4 desaturase Fish or supplement 22:5(n-3) DHA 22:6(n-3) Δ6 desaturase 24:6(n-3) b-oxidation
6 LCPUFA concentration in cell membranes Cell growth demand for new phospholipid Diet fat changes membrane phospholipid composition Changes in phospholipid fatty acid composition alter fluidity & impact function Micro environments- lipid rafts
7 LCPUFAs are pre-cursors of functional lipids (eicosanoids) Eicosanoids are signaling proteins that influence many biological functions i.e. labour induction, immune function,?neurofunction Families of eicosanoids Prostaglandins Prostacyclins Thromboxanes Leukotrienes Resolvins, Protectins, lipoxin Depending on the substrate (n-3 or n-6 LCPUFA) the eicosanoid has a different effect in the body
8 Summary of mechanisms Change in LCPUFA supply Altered composition of membrane phospholipids Membrane alterations: rafts; fluidity Signal transduction pathways Eicosanoids cell function (adapted from Calder, 1990) Change maternal/infant health
9 Importance of DHA to mother and child
10 Importance of DHA to mom Association with low DHA status and risk of maternal depression Experimental studies suggest benefits to placental health Meta-analyses of studies concluded that maternal DHA supplementation was associated with an increase in gestation ( days) Plus all the other health benefits of DHA: risk of cancer, CVD, insulin resistance etc.
11 Importance of DHA to infant Growth & Development Brain & cognitive development DHA deposited in second half of gestation, continues to accumulate postnatally (4 g DHA 2-4y) DHA status of mom/infant is associated with improved cognitive development Visual development Structural component of retinal lipids (comprises as much as 50% of total rod & cone outer segment) (Reviews: Gould et al. AJCN 97:531, 2013; Janssen & Kiliaan Prog Lipid Res 53:1, 2014)
12 Immune Function
13 Immunity in the 1 st year of life Infant has a different immune system than an adult ability of T cells to respond to immune challenges (i.e. proteins, pathogens, toxins) Infant relies on their innate immune system Are in the process of developing tolerance to proteins in the environment Compared to adults, infants have a delayed immune response and risk of infection & atopic diseases
14 Our RCTs in infants who were not breast fed has suggested that adding DHA+AA to full (and preterm) formula: modifies type of immune cells in blood closer to that of the breast-fed infant facilitates the maturation of peripheral CD4 + cells improves the ability of T cells to respond to an immune challenge increases the ability of immune cells to produce the regulatory cytokine (IL-10) when challenged Improves ex vivo tolerance to dietary proteins Suggests improved/faster immune development (Field et al., 2008, 2009,2010)
15 Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism In press, available on line (April 2016)
16 Conclusion Epidemiological studies suggest an inverse association between breast milk DHA content and the development of atopic disease in children with family history of atopic disease Evidence from epidemiological studies : Maternal DHA intake influences breast milk DHA content Breast milk AA and DHA content negatively associated with the development of atopic diseases in children at risk of atopic disease Richard et al. APNM, 2016 (in press)
17 Conclusion nutritional intervention studies suggest that supplementing the maternal diet with fish oil (late pregnancy and/or lactation) and feeding infant formula enriched in AA/DHA alters markers of immune function in a direction that is thought to be beneficial. DHA in maternal diet (n=3) DHA in infant diet (n=6) All were RCTs 2.2 to 4 months postpartum Daily fish oil EPA (range: mg/d) and DHA ( mg/d) Immune function or incidence of allergic and atopic diseases were 1º or 2 nd outcome RCTs (4), observational open label (2) 4 wk to 12 months. 5 studies provided infant formula enriched in AA (range %) and DHA (range %); 1 provided fish oil supplement (110 mg EPA & 280 mg DHA) Immune function or incidence of allergic and atopic diseases was the 1º or 2 nd outcome Richard et al. APNM, 2016 (in press)
18 Summary of our animal studies A maternal diet during lactation supplemented with DHA (0.9% fat) Did not change growth of the pups the DHA content in breast milk to levels (1% w/w fat) similar to that in human populations % of mature B cells(cd80 + and CD71 + ) and a better Th1 response to mitogens (maturation response) Improved the tolerance response ( serum IgE) to a dietary protein at the end of suckling This improved tolerance to vaccination with a dietary protein was maintained after suckling, even when a diet without DHA was fed.

33 Summary A supply/source of DHA is essential for maternal & infant health The majority of women in the 1 st cohort of APrON study (80% in pregnancy and 83% 3month postpartum) did not meet current recommendations for DHA Fish, more specifically salmon, were the major contributors of dietary n- 3 LCPUFAs in this population Maternal intake/status influences the DHA available to the infant during lactation Taking a daily supplement containing DHA increased the content of DHA in breast milk to levels believed to be optimal
34 What are the opportunities for the functional nutrition, nutraceutical and supplement industry?
35 ?Opportunities Create and make available sources of DHA (at least 200 mg) for women during pregnancy and lactation Supplements Ingredients Functional foods
