Vernix suspended in amniotic fluid is normally swallowed by the late term fetus. We
hypothesized that branched chain fatty acids (BCFA), long known to be major vernix …

Minor fatty acids (iso-and anteiso-fatty acids, vaccenic acid, elaidic acid) in foodstuff
(seafood, milk, and dairy products) were analyzed by gas chromatography with electron …

Ascorbic and dehydroascorbic acids (vitamin C), tocopherols (vitamin E) and unsaturated
fatty acids are heat-sensitive and therefore, their concentrations in human milk could be …

Abstract Background/Aims: Fatty acid (FA) composition varies over the course of the day and
during lactation. The aim of this study was to evaluate FA composition and its compositional …

Background Exposure to n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in early life is hypothesized
to offer protection against atopic disease. However, there is controversy in this area, and we …

Brain growth in mammals is associated with increased accretion of long-chain
polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) in brain phospholipids. The period of maximum …

Squirrel monkeys (genus Saimiri) give birth to relatively large neonates with large, fast‐
growing brains. Maternal energy expenditure during gestation and infant development is …

Fatty acids in milk reflect the interplay between species-specific physiological mechanisms
and maternal diet. Anthropoid primates (apes, Old and New World monkeys) vary in patterns …

Hemp seed oil and evening primrose oil were incorporated into the diets of laying hens for 5
weeks and the level of gamma fatty acid in the eggs that the treated hens laid was then …

Essential fatty acids (EFA) are fatty acids that must be obtained from the diet because they
can not be biosynthesized by human or animals. Gamma fatty acids contain gamma …
