Essential fatty acids and brain development
1987
Crawford, M.A.
A technical review discusses some of the aspects of the involement of essential fatty acids (EFA's) in brain development in infants. Attention is given to: the absorption of dietary fats and factors affecting such absorption; the in vivo utilization of fats and their role in infant nutrition; fat consumption patterns of school children from school meals; associations between dietary lipids and protein-calorie malnutrition; the effect of food policy in developing countries on the balance between dietary protein and EFA's; and the utility of long-chain derivatives of EFA's. A factorial approach to the calculation of the requirements of EFA's by infants and children is detailed.(wz)
