Effect of a diet-induced n-3 PUFA depletion on cholinergic parameters in the rat hippocampus

Effect of a diet-induced n-3 PUFA depletion on cholinergic parameters in the rat hippocampus

Because brain membranes contain large amounts of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), and as (n-3) PUFA dietary deficiency can lead to impaired attention, learning, and memory performance in rodents, we have examined the influence of an (n-3) PUFA-deprived diet on the central cholinergic neurotransm...
