the levels and clinical significance remain uncertain. We examined the association between …

The purpose of our study was to assess whether a supplement of fish oil (FO) and evening
primrose oil (EPO) for formula-fed infants was capable of avoiding reductions in erythrocyte …

Maternal n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) status may influence birth outcomes
and child health. We assessed second trimester maternal diet with food frequency …

In rhesus monkeys, maternal n‐3 fatty acid deficiency during pregnancy produces infant
monkeys deficient in n‐3 fatty acids at birth. These results stimulated current experiments to …

It is now over a decade since it was first suggested that dietary supplementation with fish oils
(rich in n-3 fatty acids) might reduce the occurrence of obstetric complications including …

Objective: To examine the effect of fish oil supplementation on duration of pregnancy,
conditional on the woman's habitual fish intake. Design: Multicentre 1: 1 randomised clinical …

In animal studies, n-3 PUFA have been shown to influence body composition and to reduce
the accumulation of body fat, thereby affecting body weight homeostasis. In addition, it has …

This review summarizes current biochemical evidence supporting the increased
consumption of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid by pregnant and lactating women. An …

Objective To test the postulated preventive effects of dietary n‐3 fatty acids on pre‐term
delivery, intrauterine growth retardation, and pregnancy induced hypertension. Design In six …

Background Exposure to different concentrations of fatty acids during fetal life may affect
growth and metabolism. However, most studies examined individual fatty acids, whereas …
