Supplementation of Female Rats with α-Linolenic Acid or Docosahexaenoic Acid Leads to the Same Omega-6/Omega-3 LC-PUFA Accretion in Mother Tissues and in Fetal and Newborn Brains

Abstract

LNA and DHA, at the amounts given in this study, show a similar bioequivalence for DHA accretion in different tissues of the mother and in brain segments of fetuses and newborn rats.
