Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and inflammatory mediator production
TL;DR: Novel antiinflammatory therapies can be developed that take advantage of positive interactions between the dietary fats and existing or newly developed pharmaceutical products.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect on human tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 1 beta production of diets enriched in n-3 fatty acids from vegetable oil or fish oil.
Gillian E. Caughey,Evangeline Mantzioris,Robert A. Gibson,Leslie G. Cleland,Michael J. James +4 more
TL;DR: It is shown that vegetable oils rich in n--3 fatty acids inhibit TNF alpha and IL-1 beta synthesis and that increases in EPA content did not result in further decreases in cytokine production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid composition of brain, retina, and erythrocytes in breast- and formula-fed infants.
TL;DR: The higher concentration of DHA in brains of breast- fed infants may explain the improved neurodevelopment reported in breast-fed compared with formula-fed infants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids essential nutrients in infancy?
TL;DR: DHA seems to be an essential nutrient for the optimum neural maturation of term infants as assessed by VEP acuity since infants breastfed for short periods had slower development of VEP than infants receiving a continuous supply of DHA from either breastmilk or supplemented formula.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of DHA supplementation during pregnancy on maternal depression and neurodevelopment of young children: a randomized controlled trial.
Maria Makrides,Robert A. Gibson,Robert A. Gibson,Andrew J McPhee,Lisa N Yelland,Julie A. Quinlivan,Philip Ryan +6 more
TL;DR: The use of DHA-rich fish oil capsules compared with vegetable oil capsules during pregnancy did not result in lower levels of postpartum depression in mothers or improved cognitive and language development in their offspring during early childhood.
