Prenatal Omega-3 Fatty Acid Intake and Visual Function


Lipids influence neuronal function by modifying the characteristics of the membrane, gene expression, and cell signaling, all of which play a critical role in neurotransmission, metabolism, growth, and cell differentiation. A considerable accumulation of long-chain
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) occurs in neural and retinal membranes during gestation, and it continues throughout the first postnatal years, a period that is associated with a substantial growth of the brain2, 3 (Fig. 25.1). Inadequate intake of PUFAs can perturb cerebral maturational processes and thus have functional consequences on sensory and cognitive neurodevelopment at birth or later in life.
