| Research Abstract |
Fat is important to provide essential fatty acid. n-3 PUFAs are necessary for DHA biosynthesis in vivo. To understand the effect of maternal intake of n-3 PUFAs on brain development, we mated female rats fed an n-3 PUFAs deficient diet with males fed an n-3 PUFAs adequate diet, and made several morphological studies of the cerebral cortices of their offspring. Our data suggest that appropriate intake of n-3 PUFAs is important for brain development.
