Dietary lipids are key for infants to not only meet their high energy needs but also fulfill
numerous metabolic and physiological functions critical to their growth, development, 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 …

The third edition retains the highly detailed, authoritative quality of the previous editions to
present in-depth knowledge of fatty acids in food and food products and reveal diverse …

We have hypothesized that among algae of alpine environment there could be strains
particularly rich in long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA). Indeed, the …

The need for a dietary supply of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic aid (AA) in
term infants was evaluated in a double-masked randomized clinical trial of the effects of …

Objective. To examine the influence of infant feeding method on serum total cholesterol (TC)

The CNS and the retina are enriched in long chain polyunsaturated (LCP) fatty acids,
specifically docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6n-3) and arachidonic acid (AA, 20: 4n-6) …

Background: The critical period during which the dietary supply of long-chain
polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPs) may influence the maturation of cortical function in term …

Objectives: To determine the effect of α-linolenic acid (ALA) intake (or the dietary linoleic
acid [LA]/ALA ratio) on the growth and visual function of term infants. Study design: Normal …

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) are essential for normal development.
Fetal accretion of LC-PUFA occurs during the last trimester of gestation; therefore, premature …
