Article Synopsis
- This study examined how different levels of n-3 fatty acid (FA) intake during pregnancy and lactation affect the growth and fatty acid profiles of Wistar rat offspring.
- The three dietary groups consisted of a control group (normal n-3/n-6 ratio), a low n-3 FA group (no n-3 intake), and a high n-3 FA group (excessive n-3 intake).
- Results showed that while maternal weight and birth weights were similar across groups, offspring from the high n-3 group weighed the least, and excess n-3 FA intake had a more significant impact on female offspring compared to males, suggesting caution in high supplementation during critical developmental periods.
