Correlates of whole-blood polyunsaturated fatty acids among young children with moderate acute malnutrition
Yameogo, Charles W.; Cichon, Bernardette; Fabiansen, Christian; Rytter, Maren Johanne Heilskov; Faurholt-Jepsen, Daniel; Stark, Ken; Briend, André; Shepherd, Susan; Traore, Alfred S.; Christensen, Vibeke Brix; Michaelsen, Kim F.; Friis, Henrik; Lauritzen, Lotte (BioMed Central, 2017-07-13)Background: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) has been associated with low polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) status. However, investigations regarding PUFA status and correlates in children with moderate acute malnutrition ... -
Effect of complementary food with small amounts of freshwater fish on whole blood n-3 fatty acids in Cambodian infants age 6-15 months
Nurhasan, Mulia; Roos, Nanna; Skau, Jutta K. H.; Wieringa, Frank T.; Friis, Henrik; Michaelsen, Kim F.; Dijkhuizen, Marjoleine A.; Stark, Ken; Ritz, Christian; Chhoun, Chamnan; Lauritzen, Lotte (Elsevier, 2018-08-01)The impact of freshwater fish consumption on the status of long-chain n-3 fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) in infants in landlocked, low-income populations is unknown. We used secondary data from a randomized, single-blinded, ... -
Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid in Whole Blood Are Differentially and Sex-Specifically Associated with Cardiometabolic Risk Markers in 8-11-Year-Old Danish Children
Damsgaard, Camilla T.; Eidner, Maj B.; Stark, Ken; Hjorth, Mads F.; Sjodin, Anders; Andersen, Malene R.; Andersen, Rikke; Tetens, Inge; Astrup, Arne; Michaelsen, Kim F.; Lauritzen, Lotte (Public Library of Science, 2014-10-15)n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids improve cardiovascular risk markers in adults. These effects may differ between eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), but we lack evidence ... -
Maternal fish oil supplementation during lactation is associated with reduced height at 13 years of age and higher blood pressure in boys only
Lauritzen, Lotte; Eriksen, S. E.; Hjorth, Mads F.; Nielsen, M. S.; Olsen, Sjurdur F.; Stark, Ken; Michaelsen, Kim F.; Damsgaard, Camilla T. (Cambridge University Press, 2016-12-28)Dietary long-chain n-3 PUFA (n-3 LCPUFA) in infancy may have long-term effects on lifestyle disease risk. The present follow-up study investigated whether maternal fish oil (FO) supplementation during lactation affected ... -
n-3 PUFA status in school children is associated with beneficial lipid profile, reduced physical activity and increased blood pressure in boys
Damsgaard, Camilla T.; Stark, Ken; Hjorth, Mads F.; Biltoft-Jensen, Anja; Astrup, Arne; Michaelsen, Kim F.; Lauritzen, Lotte (Cambridge University Press, 2013-10-14)Dietary n-3 long-chain PUFA (LC-PUFA) improve dyslipidaemia and hypertension and may affect insulin resistance and adiposity. Increasing numbers of children show signs of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), but few studies have ...
