Abstract:Fish oil and other sources of dietary long chain n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n‐3 PUFA) reduce adiposity in animal models and humans. Recent epidemiological studies have associated a relatively high ratio of maternal n‐3: n‐6 PUFA with reduced adiposity in children, suggesting that maternal dietary fatty acids may be used to attenuate early childhood obesity. We developed an avian model (broiler chickens) to directly test the hypothesis that enriching the developing embryo in LC n‐3 PUFA reduces adipose… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
