Overview

Meta-analysis reveals omega-3 supplementation's effect on metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers in pregnancy, suggesting potential lipid profile improvements.

Key Points

  • Omega-3 supplementation significantly decreased triglyceride and CRP levels in pregnant women, indicating potential cardiovascular benefits.
  • The analysis included 14 randomized controlled trials, with supplementation durations ranging from 6 to 29 weeks, providing robust data on metabolic effects.
  • Although HDL-C increased significantly, no major effects were observed on FBS, insulin, or other inflammatory biomarkers, highlighting inconsistent outcomes.
  • Heterogeneity among trials suggests more rigorous studies are necessary to fully understand omega-3's role in pregnancy.
