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