After care ful explanation of the nature of the study, the mothers of several hundred infants have chosen to participate. The chief criteria of selection are that the parents seem anxious to co operate and that the infants are normal neonates. The individ ual subjects include children ...
متن کاملEssential fatty acids in maternal and infant nutrition.
Introduction In many developing countries of the world and more especially in the countries of South Asia, the major nutritional problems that are now being encountered on a public-health scale are those related to mothers and infants. Maternal mortality rates in these countries range from 140 to 540; almost a third of infants are of low birth weight «2.5 kg) and over 50% of under-fives are "st...
متن کاملThe role of essential fatty acids in neural development: implications for perinatal nutrition.
The brain is 60% structural lipid, which universally uses arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4n6) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) for growth, function, and integrity. Both acids are consistent components of human milk. Experimental evidence in animals has demonstrated that the effect of essential fatty acid deficiency during early brain development is deleterious and permanent. The risk of neurod...
متن کاملNutrition in brain development and aging: role of essential fatty acids.
The essential fatty acids (EFAs), particularly the n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPs), are important for brain development during both the fetal and postnatal period. They are also increasingly seen to be of value in limiting the cognitive decline during aging. EFA deficiency was first shown over 75 years ago, but the more subtle effects of the n-3 fatty acids in terms of skin ch...
متن کاملEssential fatty acids and human brain.
The human brain is nearly 60 percent fat. We've learned in recent years that fatty acids are among the most crucial molecules that determine your brain's integrity and ability to perform. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are required for maintenance of optimal health but they can not synthesized by the body and must be obtained from dietary sources. Clinical observation studies has related imbalanc...
