PUFAs in Preterm Infants (PIPI)

September 13, 2023 updated by: The First Hospital of Jilin University

Characteristics of PUFAs Composition in Preterm Infants and Its Impact on Disease Prognosis

The research endeavors to examine the critical composition of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) in premature infants across different gestational stages and under varying disease conditions, and delineate the metabolic attributes of PUFAs in premature infants and their interplay with the onset of diseases. This study anticipates furnishing a theoretical foundation for the rationalization of PUFAs supplementation in premature infants and for informing strategies related to disease prevention and management.
