have attracted much scientific attention in the last four decades. Fish oils that contain higher …

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 …

EPA and DHA appear to be the most important n-3 fatty acids, but roles for n-3
docosapentaenoic acid are now also emerging. Intakes of EPA and DHA are usually low …

In the 40 years since the essentiality of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in fish was first
established by determining quantitative requirements for 18: 3n− 3 and 18: 2n− 6 in rainbow …

Background Although the results of many clinical studies suggest that breast-fed children
