Human milk lipids provide the infant with energy and essential vitamins, polyunsaturated
fatty acids, and bioactive components. Adding complex lipids and milk fat globule …

Arachidonic acid (ARA, 20: 4 n-6) is an n-6 polyunsaturated 20-carbon fatty acid formed by
the biosynthesis from linoleic acid (LA, 18: 2 n-6). This review considers the essential role …

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 …

New methodology for measuring forage condensed tannin (CT) content is described and the
effects of CT upon forage feeding and nutritive value for ruminant animals are reviewed. CT …

Breast-fed infants score better on visual and developmental tests than do formula-fed infants
and this has been related to higher concentrations of erythrocyte docosahexaenoic acid …

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

Context Uncertainty exists about the benefit of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the
neurodevelopment of preterm infants. Objective To determine the effect of meeting the …

Achieving appropriate growth and nutrient accretion of preterm and low birth weight (LBW)
infants is often difficult during hospitalization because of metabolic and gastrointestinal …

Background: Exposure to polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in early life may influence
adiposity development. Objective: We examined the extent to which prenatal n− 3 (omega-3) …

Diets deficient in the omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid reduce arachidonic acid (Ach)
concentrations and retard growth of developing animals and humans. Nevertheless, plasma …
