Most of the global population is deficient in long-chain marine omega-3s. In particular,
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid, is important for brain and …

This review focuses on the metabolism of n-3 fatty acids and attempts to review the current
understanding of how the n-3 fatty acid content of neuronal membranes is regulated …

This review describes (from both the animal and human literature) the biological
consequences of losses in nervous system docosahexaenoate (DHA). It then concentrates …

Concentrations of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA, 22: 6n− 3) and arachidonic acid (AA, 20: 4n− 6) in human breast milk are …

The principle omega-3 fatty acid in brain, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), accumulates in the
brain during perinatal cortical expansion and maturation. Animal studies have demonstrated …

This review is part of a series intended for nonspecialists that will summarize evidence
relevant to the question of whether causal relations exist between micronutrient deficiencies …

The effects of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supply during infancy on later cognitive
development of healthy term infants were evaluated in a randomized clinical trial of infant …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) are important structural
components of the central nervous system. These fatty acids are transferred across the …

The essential fatty acids (EFAs), particularly the n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids
(LCPs), are important for brain development during both the fetal and postnatal period. They …

The aim of this review is to evaluate the effects of omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty
acids (n-3 LCPUFA) supplementation in pregnant and lactating women and infants during …
