Abstract

The dynamics of docosahexaenoic acid in 96 pregnant women in I, II and III trimesters of gestation during the reactivation of chronic cytomegalovirus infection (CMVI) was studied by gas-liquid chromatography. The comparison group consisted of women with physiological pregnancy, comparable in age and stage of gestation with the main group. The material for research was peripheral blood (plasma and erythrocyte membrane) which was taken from the ulnar vein in the morning on an empty stomach. Heparin was used as an anticoagulant. The study found that with the reactivation of chronic CMVI (IgG antibody titer to CMV 1:1600), the content of docosahexaenoic acid in plasma of peripheral blood of pregnant women decreased in the first trimester by 31% (p<0.001), in the II trimester by 25% (p<0.001), and by 38% (p<0.001) by the end of the gestation period, in comparison with the control group. In the erythrocyte membrane, the content of this acid decreased by 29% in the first trimester (p<0.001), by 16% in the second trimester (p<0.001), and by 29% (p<0.001) in the III trimester, in comparison with the control group. The revealed dynamics of changes in the concentration of docosahexaenoic acid in pregnant women with CMVI will contribute to insufficient transfer of this acid from the mother's blood to the fetal blood through the placenta. Therefore, our studies show that the optimal balance in the blood and a sufficient dietary intake of docosahexaenoic acid is necessary for the normal maturation and functioning of a healthy body. Products containing docosahexaenoic acid should take a special place in the diet of pregnant women, as it affects the formation of the fetus. However, given that the food sources of the acids of the ω-3 family are rather limited and the ratio ω-6/ω-3 in the diet of a modern person is far from optimal, we recommend that women with reactivation of CMVI during gestation should have biologically active dietary supplements that enrich the diet with polyunsaturated fatty acids.
