ABSTRACT Docosahexaenoic acid [22: 6 (n-3), DHA] is important for optimal infant central
nervous system development, and lead (Pb) exposure during development can produce …

Lead (Pb) exposure has been reported to increase arachidonic (AA) and docosahexaenoic
(DHA) acids. To determine whether Pb effects on fatty acid composition are influenced by …

Abstract The (n-3) fatty acids are essential dietary nutrients, and one of their important roles
is providing docosahexaenoic acid [22: 6 (n-3)](DHA) for growth and function of nervous …

Insufficient availability of n− 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) during pre-and neonatal
development decreases accretion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6n− 3) in the …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a major structural component of the nervous system, and
depletion may lead to losses in neural function. Our objective was to demonstrate a deficit in …

Background Premature infants are deprived of prenatal accumulation of brain
docosahexaenoic acid [DHA (22: 6n-3)], an omega-3 fatty acid [ω-3 FA (n-3 FA)] important …

Introduction: Offsprings from a prenatal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation trial,
in which pregnant women were assigned to placebo or 600mg DHA/day, were followed to …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a long chain n− 3 fatty acid, is present in high concentrations
in the central nervous system. Although the role that DHA may play in neural function is not …

Previous studies of the effects of dietary docosahexanoic acid (DHA), 22: 6n3, on
neurodevelopment have focused mainly on visual-evoked potentials and indices of visual …

Brain development is a complex interactive process in which early disruptive events can
have long-lasting effects on later functional adaptation. It is a process that is dependent on …
