ABSTRACT
Levels of fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs), lipids as well as activities of fatty acid synthesizing enzymes such as fatty acid synthase and ATP-citrate lyase increase with gestation showing maximum at term in human fetal lung. However, the activity of ATP-citrate lyase showed the same trend up to 30 weeks of gestation before declining slightly at term. These results indicate the importance of supply and/or synthesis of fatty acids when lung surfactant synthesis begins; thereby showing a correlation between the FABPs, lipid pattern and the activities of fatty acid synthesizing enzymes during prenatal lung development.
