Essential Fatty Acids and Brain Development
Nutrition of the infant is of paramount importance for at least two main reasons: (a) there is a fast rate of growth and tissue development; (b) organ specific phases of development take place, which are likely to be determinants of subsequent performance. Tissue development involves increase in size and number of cells. The fast rate of growth in infancy is reflected in the high energy require...
متن کاملCholine: an essential nutrient for public health.
Choline was officially recognized as an essential nutrient by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 1998. There is significant variation in the dietary requirement for choline that can be explained by common genetic polymorphisms. Because of its wide-ranging roles in human metabolism, from cell structure to neurotransmitter synthesis, choline-deficiency is now thought to have an impact on diseases...
متن کاملCholine, an essential nutrient for humans.
Choline is required to make essential membrane phospholipids. It is a precursor for the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and also is an important source of labile methyl groups. Mammals fed a choline-deficient diet develop liver dysfunction; however, choline is not considered an essential nutrient in humans. Healthy male volunteers were hospitalized and fed a semisynthetic die...
متن کاملBeta-carotene: an Essential Nutrient for Horses?
Beta-carotene (ß-carotene) is one of many carotenoids found in nature. In the human nutrition field, evidence suggests that higher blood levels of ß-carotene as well as other carotenoids such as alpha-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and ß-cryptoxanthin may be associated with lower risk of several chronic diseases. ß-carotene, a-carotene, and ß-cryptoxanthin have pro-vitamin A activity, ...
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of Genes Essential for Human Brain Development
The human brain is a network of ninety billion neurons that allows for many of the behavioral adaptations considered unique to our species. One-fifth of these neurons are layered in an epithelial sheet known as the cerebral cortex, which is exquisitely folded into convolutions called gyri. Defects in neuronal number clinically present with microcephaly (Greek for “small head”), and in inherited...
