This document contains abstracts from multiple studies on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), on health. The studies cover topics like the impact of DHA supplementation during pregnancy and lactation on infant neurodevelopment, the role of DHA in brain health and cognitive functions, differences in omega-3 fatty acid metabolism between men and women, DHA status in Brazilian pregnant women, and the cellular mechanisms of DHA-derived neuroprotectin D1.

19. Effects of Early Maternal
Docosahexaenoic Acid Intake on Neuropsychological Status and
Visual Acuity at Five Years of Age of Breast-Fed Term Infants
Five-year-old children whose mothers received modest DHA supplementation versus
placebo for the first 4 months of breastfeeding performed better on a test of sustained
attention. This, along with the previously reported better performance of the children of
DHA-supplemented mothers on a test of psychomotor development at 30 months of age,
suggests that DHA intake during early infancy confers long-term benefits on specific
aspects of neurodevelopment. J Pediatr 2010;157:900-5).
