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 …

Concentrations of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA, 22: 6n− 3) and arachidonic acid (AA, 20: 4n− 6) in human breast milk are …

n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential fatty acids that are provided
by dietary intake. Growing evidence suggests that n-3 and n-6 PUFAs are paramount for …

Early nutrition has an enormous influence on a child's physiological function, immune
system maturation, and cognitive development. Human breast milk (HBM) is recognized as …

The importance of a high fat intake in the increasing prevalence of childhood and adult
obesity remains controversial. Moreover, qualitative changes (ie the fatty acid composition of …

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

Human milk from healthy and well-nourished mothers is the preferred form of feeding for all
healthy newborn infants. The nutrient supply with human milk supports normal growth and …

Objective. There have been indications that high intake of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated
fatty acids (PUFAs) during pregnancy may increase birth weight and gestational length. In …

Human milk provides all the dietary essential fatty acids, linoleic acid (LA; 18: 2n-6) and α-
linolenic acid (18: 3n-3), as well as their longer-chain more-unsaturated metabolites …

OBJECTIVE: To hypothesize that higher intake of docosahexaenoic acid, an n-3 long chain
polyunsaturated fatty acid, would increase duration of gestation and birth weight in US …
