La teneur en acides gras polyinsaturés du lait maternel : un marqueur biologique fiable du niveau de consommation des populations
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are nutritionally important constituents of breast milk to support normal growth, immune function and central nervous system development of newborn infants. Both linoleic acid (18:2 n-6; LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (18:3 n-3 ; ALA), the essential fatty acids, prec...
