High-fibre diet cuts preeclampsia risk during pregnancy
Ladies, please take note. Consuming a high fibre-diet may reduce the risk of preeclampsia during pregnancy, researchers have found.
Simple recommendation to eat food, mostly plants and not too much, might be the most effective primary prevention strategy for some of the most serious conditions of our time.
The mother's gut bacteria and diet appear to be crucial to promoting healthy pregnancy, said the lead author of the study.
The study showed that pregnancy outcomes and infant immunity are linked to gut bacteria.
Plant-based fibre is broken down in the gut by bacteria into factors that influence the immune system. The research team investigated the role of these metabolic products of gut bacteria during pregnancy.
The researchers found that in humans, reduced levels of acetate, which is mainly produced by fibre fermentation in the gut, is associated with the common and serious pregnancy-related condition, preeclampsia.
Preecelampsia occurs in up to 10% of pregnancies and is characterised by high blood pressure, protein in the urine and severe swelling in the mother's body.
It also interferes with the child's immune development whilst in the womb, with some evidence suggesting a link to higher rates of allergies and autoimmune diseases later in life.
The study found that preeclampsia affected the development of an important fetal immune organ-the thymus- which sits just behind the breastbone.
Foetuses in preeclampsia pregnancies were found to have a much smaller thymus than children from healthy pregnancies.
The cells the thymus normally generates-called T cells, and specifically those associated with the prevention of allergies and autoimmune conditions such as diabetes- also remained lower in infants after preeclampsia, even 4 years after delivery.
The mechanism of acetate on the developing foetal immune system were further examined in separate experiments involving mice that showed acetate was central in driving foetal thymus and T cell development.
The results showed that promoting specific metabolic products of gut bacteria during pregnancy might be an effective way to maintain a healthy pregnancy and to prevent allergies and autoimmune conditions later in life.

Ladies, please take
note. Consuming a high-fibre diet may reduce the risk of preeclampsia
during pregnancy, researchers have found. "Simple recommendation to 'eat
real food, mostly plants and not too much' might be the most effective
primary prevention strategy for some of the most serious conditions of
our time. "The mother's gut bacteria and diet appear to be crucial to
promoting healthy pregnancy," said study lead author Ralph Nanan,
Professor at the University of Sydney.
