Abstract Recently, omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAs) have
gained substantial interest due to their specific structure and biological functions. Humans …

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 …

Background Although the results of many clinical studies suggest that breast-fed children
score higher on tests of cognitive function than do formula-fed children, some investigators …

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 …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) with 22-carbons and 6 double bonds is the extreme example
of an ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). DHA has strong medical implications since its …

The Fourth Edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect the worldwide
expansion of the lactation specialist role. New content on obstetrical issues, especially the …

Omega‐3 (n‐3) fatty acids are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids that contribute to
human health and well‐being. Functionally the most important n‐3 fatty acids appear to be …

The ω-3 fatty acids are essential dietary nutrients and one of their important roles is
providing the fatty acid with 22 carbons and 6 double bonds known as docosahexaenoic …

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