“The addition of gamma-linolenic acid to the formula had a positive effect on red blood cell arachidonic acid levels, compared with levels obtained using fish oil only.”

“ Fish oil supplementation during pregnancy not only improves maternal and neonatal DHA status, but often reduces γ-linolenic acid (GLA), dihomo-GLA (DGLA), and arachidonic acid (ARA) levels also, which may compromise foetal and infant development.”
“Compared with the control group, fish oil inclusion could lower the C18:2 n-6 level, higher the C18:3 n-6 , C22:4 n-6 and C22:5 n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the meat (p < 0.05).”
