There is growing evidence that long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) are of
importance for normal brain development. Adequate supply of LCPUFAs may be particularly …

There has been intense interest in the role of the n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid
(LCPUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6n-3), in growth and development of infants. In …

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) play specific roles during the perinatal
period and are very important nutrients to consider. The possible effects of LCPUFAs …

Summary n-3 and n-6 LCPUFAs may condition in part the long-term consequences of
preterm birth. Early n-3 and n-6 LCPUFA supply may moderate the impact of hypoxia and …

It takes more than 20 years before the human brain obtains its complex, adult configuration.
Most dramatic developmental changes occur prenatally and early postnatally. During …

Exciting new research has shown that both preterm and term infants can actively convert the
essential fatty acids linoleic acid (LA, 18: 2n‐6) and α‐linolenic acid (ALA, 18: 3n‐3) to long …

Omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) are important constituents of
the maturing brain and therefore considered crucial for brain development in utero and in …

The present review addresses the effect of pre-and postnatal supplementation of nutrition
with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) on neurodevelopmental outcome. The …

Background Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are important for prenatal
brain development. Previous studies of others assessed outcome until 7 years. The …

Background & aim Preterm infants risk deficits of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids
(LCPUFAs) that may contribute to morbidities and hamper neurodevelopment. We aimed to …
