Abstract
The high demand of the fetus for Docosahexaenoic acid, DHA, is satisfied by a concert of several mechanisms that take place in the placental terminal villi. Scarcity of laboratory data makes the detailed description of these mechanisms elusive. Here, the DHA transport across the placenta is modeled as a boundary value problem that accounts for diffusion, reactions with fatty acids binding proteins, FABPs, and metabolic consumption within the...
