Nonhuman primates are of interest as models of human physiology to study the effect of multiple pregnancies on birth weight. Reference plasma and red blood cell (RBC) total phospholipids fatty acids were established in nonpregnant breeding female Vervet monkeys. Twenty-three clinically healthy nonpregnant Vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops), contained in a controlled closed environment and consuming a high carbohydrate diet (68 E%) that contained 20 E% fat and 12 E% protein were sampled for blood during a cross-sectional study. A low intake of omega3 fatty acids was reflected by a high omega6/omega3 ratio (66:1) of the diet. Inverse relations were seen between plasma and RBC total phospholipid fatty acids, 18:2omega6, 20:3omega6, and 20:4omega6, which suggested selective incorporation in membranes. Low levels of 20:5omega3 and 22:6omega3 of plasma and RBC total phospholipids render Vervet monkeys as ideal subjects to study the effect of omega3 fatty acid supplementation on pregnancy outcomes. |
