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
(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 ...
Correlates of whole-blood polyunsaturated fatty acids among young children with moderate acute malnutrition
(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 ...
Changes in whole-blood PUFA and their predictors during recovery from severe acute malnutrition
(Cambridge University Press, 2016-05-28)
Children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) with complications require in-patient management including therapeutic feeding. Little attention has been given to the effects of these feeds on the essential fatty acid status ...
Diet-induced changes in iron and n-3 fatty acid status and associations with cognitive performance in 8-11-year-old Danish children: secondary analyses of the Optimal Well-Being, Development and Health for Danish Children through a Healthy New Nordic Diet School Meal Study
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-11-28)
Fe and n-3 long-chain PUFA (n-3 LCPUFA) have both been associated with cognition, but evidence remains inconclusive in well-nourished school-aged children. In the Optimal Well-Being, Development and Health for Danish ...
Maternal fish oil supplementation during lactation is associated with reduced height at 13 years of age and higher blood pressure in boys only
(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
(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 ...
Higher intake of fish and fat is associated with lower plasma s-adenosylhomocysteine: a cross-sectional study
(Elsevier, 2017-10-02)
Several B-vitamins act as co-factors in one-carbon metabolism, a pathway that plays a central role in several chronic diseases. However, there is a lack of knowledge of how diet affects markers in one-carbon metabolism. ...
Effect of complementary food with small amounts of freshwater fish on whole blood n-3 fatty acids in Cambodian infants age 6-15 months
(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, ...
