Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Vitamin D¬3 will be determined in adipose tissue. Fatty acid profile will be determined in anterior adipose tissue. 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 will be determined in serum to asses the vitamin D status. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In this pilot study we intend to measure the quantity of vitamin D3 in anterior adipose tissue of pregnant women, to determine whether or not deposition takes place. Fatty acid profile will be established in anterior adipose tissue to gain information about fatty fish consumption. That way we will be able to asses whether it is exposure to sunlight or consuming fatty fish which leads to deposition of vitamine D3 in anterior adipose tissue. There will be determined whether or not there is correlation between vitamin D3 in anterior adipose tissue and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in serum. | — |
