“During fish oil supplementation relative amounts of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in the plasma cholesterol ester and neutrophil membrane phospholipid fractions increased, mainly at the expense of the omega-6 fatty acids.”
“ Fish oil supplementation significantly increased the mean DHA proportion of total FAs in the intervention compared to the placebo group at weeks 35-37 [adjusted Mean Difference (aMD) = 0.15; 95% CI 0.08-0.23].”
“The mean plasma DHA concentrations in treated infants were 2.9-fold higher in the fish oil group than in control infants on the 7th and 14th days of life.”
