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 …

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

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 …

This paper reports on the conclusions of a workshop on the role of long chain
polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC‐PUFA) in maternal and child health The attending …

Objectives. A randomized, masked, controlled trial was conducted to assess effects of
supplementing premature infant formulas with oils containing the long-chain …

Human milk contains n-3 and n-6 LCPUFA (long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids), which
are absent from many infant formulas. During neonatal life, there is a rapid accretion of AA …

Objective. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) are long-chain
polyunsaturated fatty acids found in breast milk and recently added to infant formulas. Their …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation with
docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid for human milk-fed preterm infants. The primary …
