Fats for brains

Article Abstract:

The supply of longer-chain polyunsaturated (LCP) fatty acids, metabolismand functional effects on the feeding of premature infants were discussed. Feeding studies show that premature infants have a limited capacity to synthesize omega-6 and omega-3 LCP from parent essential fatty acids supplied by diet. Human-milk feeding supplies n-6 and n-3 LCP in amounts that cover the infant's needs therefore, LCP inclusion in premature infant diets was recommended.
