Abstract:
:The membrane phospholipids of the brain contain high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), particularly arachidonic acid, 20:4n-6 and docosahexaenoic acid, 22:6n-3. These long-chain PUFA are synthesized from their respective essential fatty acid (EFA) precursors, linoleic acid, 18:2n-6 and linolenic acid, 18:3n-3. Although the necessity of n-6 fatty acids for optimum growth has been established, a similar requirement for those of the n-3 family is less clear. The rapid accumulation of the long-chain n-3 PUFA in the brain during prenatal and preweaning development suggests that the provision of n-3 fatty acids to the developing brain may be necessary for normal growth and functional development. The intent of this review is to assess the experimental work which addresses this question, most of which has been conducted on rodents. The emphasis will be on studies which measure behavioral outcomes, and particular attention will be paid to methodological issues which affect the interpretation of these data. An integration of the research findings will be presented and discussed in light of possible implications for therapeutic interventions.
