The transfer of plasma triglyceride fatty acids from mother to fetus was studied in rats. Following i.v. injection of labelled chylomicron and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) triglycerides into the mother, the time courses of the plasma triglycerides, free fatty acids, and fetal radioactivity were determined. The data were analysed using a mathematical model. From the results the following conclusions were drawn: To cover the need of fetal fatty acids, the placenta utilizes only VLDL triglycerides but not chylomicron triglycerides. Comparison of the amount of VLDL triglyceride fatty acids (0.04 micromoles/min/litter) and of maternal plasma free fatty acids (0.08 micronmoles/min/litter) transferred into the fetus indicates that the maternal plasma triglycerides are a source of fetal fatty acids, that cannot be neglected.
