abstract

the biological effects of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are determined by their mutual interactions. this interaction extremely affects various functions. lower consumption of omega-3 during gestation leads to various disorders, even in hearing. we aimed to assess the effect of low omega-3/omega-6 ratios on auditory nerve conduction. in this experimental study, the auditory brainstem response test was performed on 24-day-old rat (n=14). the rats were divided into case (low omega-3/omega-6 ratio during gestation and lactation) and control groups. variables such as p1, p3, and p4 absolute latency period, interpeaks (p3-p4, p1-p3, and p1-p4), and p4/p1 amplitude ratio were measured. we found an increased p4 omega-3/omega-6 ratio in the group with a low omega-3/omega-6 ratio (p 0.05).  also, no significant difference was observed between the groups with respect to the p1-p3 interpeak latency (ipl) periods (p>0.05); while the p1-p4 and p3-p4 ipls were significantly increased in the group with a low omega-3/omega-6 ratio (p<0.05). the p4/p1 amplitude ratio significantly decreased in the group with a low omega-3/omega-6 ratio (p<0.05). results confirmed the negative effects of low omega-3/omega-6 ratio on the auditory system and hearing.

Effects of Fish Oil Supplementation during the Suckling Period on Auditory Neural Conduction in n-3 Fatty Acid-Deficient Rat Pups

Abstract Introduction: Omega 3 fatty acid especially in the form of fish oil, has structural and biological role in the body's various systems especially nervous system. Numerous studies have tried to research about it. Auditory is one of the affected systems. Omega 3 deficiency can have devastating effects on the nervous system and auditory. This study aimed to evaluate neural conduction in n-...
