| Question | Answer |
| The AI for lactation is _____ compared to that of non-lactating | increased |
| True or False: maternal dietary intervention with n-6 fatty acids effects growth and development in the infact | False, there is no evidence of this |
| AI of n-6 fatty acids is based on | the median linoleic acid intake of lactating women where a deficiency is basically nonexistent |
| n-3 fatty acids secreted in milk during lactation is met by | n-3 fatty acids from maternal tissues or through dietary intake |
| lactating women present ______ plasma and RBC lipid DHA levels | lower |
| Lower plasma DHA may be due to | - inadequate n-3 fatty acid intakes - changes in maternal DHA levels are normal physiological responses to the changes in endocrine status, lipoprotein and lipid metabolism, or nutrient transfer that accompany pregnancy and lactation |
| DHA levels in both the mother and the newborn infant can be increased by | supplementation with fish oil during pregnancy |
| DHA supplementation during lactation increases | the concentration of DHA in the mother's milk and in the infant's blood |
| True or False: increasing intakes of DHA in pregnant and lactating women consuming diets that meet n-6 and n-3 requirements have no physiologically significant benefit to the infant | True, there is no evidence available to state otherwise |
| Lipoprotein lipase activity is _____ | increased |
| Lipoprotein lipase increase is induced on the level of the _________ under ______ stimulus | - mammary tissue - prolactin |
| Increases in lipoprotein lipase mobilize.. | Fat reserves to come into the mother's mammary gland as opposed to in fat stores |
| AI for lactation is _____ from that in nonlactating, but _____ from that in pregnancy | - increased - decreased |
| ______ contributes towards reversing n-3 fatty acid deficiency | small amounts of EPA and DHA |
| lower n-3 and n-6 fatty acids are seen because.. | there is less fish consumption during pregnancy |
