“…Blood from the standard infants tested in this study was not available, but we collected samples from 3 other such infants every 4 weeks from birth, and their data are presented as representative of the standard diet. Erythrocytes were centrifuged from plasma, and their lipids were extracted and methylated by standard procedures (Anderson, Connor, Corliss, & Lin, 1989). Fatty acid methyl esters were analyzed by gas chromatography on an instrument equipped with hydrogen flame ionization detectors (Perkin-Elmer Sigma 3B; Perkin-Elmer, Norwalk, Connecticut) and two 30-m SP-2330 fused silica capillary columns (Supelco, Bellefonte, Pennsylvania) as described by Anderson et al An HP 85 computer (Hewlett-Packard, San Fernando, California) or a Perkin-Elmer chromatography station was used to identify each fatty acid.…”

Effects of dietary essential fatty acids on visual attention were explored longitudinally in infant rhesus monkeys with a visual paired-comparison paradigm. Sets of primate faces and of patterns were presented at Weeks 2, 5, 9, and 13 to 9 infants deficient in omega-3 fatty acids and 8 fed a standard nursery diet. Familiarization to 1 member of each pair preceded simultaneous presentation of both stimuli. Infants fed the deficient diet showed longer individual looks in both immediate and 24-hr tests. Duration of looks decreased with age to familiar but not to novel stimuli. The proportion of time looking at the novel stimulus (% novel) increased with age but was not affected by diet. Look duration and % novel were differentially affected and may reflect different underlying processes.

“…The composition of FA is highly related to the diet (Cherian et al 2002;Wood and Enser 1997) and the composition of FA in the muscle at early ages (days 1 and 10 post hatch) may reflect the maternal dietary FA (Cherian and Sim 1991). Although lipids in the yolk are extensively utilized during incubation (Noble and Cocchi 1990), a large proportion remained unused at hatch and are sequestered into the body cavity and utilized within 5 days post hatch (Latour et al 1994), and the studies by Anderson et al (1989) and Cherian and Sim (1991) indicate that the FA composition in certain tissues still reflects the maternal dietary lipid profile for about 3 weeks post hatch. The lower composition of MUFA and higher composition of PUFA in RJ as compared to CB in the breast muscle at the early ages may indicate the different compositions of maternal FA profile in the slow-and fastgrowing birds.…”

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of feeding the same diet to different breeds of chickens and at different ages on fatty acid (FA) composition of the breast and thigh muscles. A total of 150 chickens comprising 50 each of red jungle fowl (RJ) and village chicken (VC), the slow-growing birds, and the commercial broiler (CB), fast-growing birds, were used for this study. Ten chickens from each breed were serially euthanized at days 1, 10, 20, 56, and 120 post hatch, and pectoralis major and bicep femoris were harvested to represent the breast and thigh muscles respectively. It was revealed that the breast muscle concentrations of saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are significantly different (p<0.05) among the breeds. Also, the FA composition of breast and thigh muscles among RJ, VC, and CB at various ages studied varied significantly (p<0.05) but without a definite pattern. The composition of MUFA was lower, but that of PUFA was higher in the RJ and VC than in the CB breast muscles. Within the breeds, the composition of total MUFA decreased, while that of PUFA increased with age. The total MUFA and PUFA showed no significant difference (p>0.05) between the breast and thigh muscles at different ages evaluated. This study suggests that slow-growing birds (RJ and VC) might be better sources of desirable FA than the fast-growing birds, CB. KeywordsPectoralis major . Bicep femoris . Lipids . Red jungle fowl .

“…Chick development also depends on sufficient lipid of the appropriate composition from the yolk and on metabolic ability for growth and differentiation of the embryo and early chick nutrition [36]. Fatty acids derived from these lipids are assembled in the maternal liver [36] and reflect the diet of the female during the period of egg formation [37]. Consequently, we were interested in examining differences in fatty acid composition in eggs from low-versus neutral-pH lakes.…”

A field study was conducted in Wisconsin (USA) to characterize in ovo mercury (Hg) exposure in common loons (Gavia immer). Total Hg mass fractions ranged from 0.17 µg/g to 1.23 µg/g wet weight in eggs collected from nests on lakes representing a wide range of pH (5.0-8.1) and were modeled as a function of maternal loon Hg exposure and egg laying order. Blood total Hg mass fractions in a sample of loon chicks ranged from 0.84 µg/g to 3.86 µg/g wet weight at hatch. Factors other than mercury exposure that may have persistent consequences on development of chicks from eggs collected on low-pH lakes (i.e., egg selenium, calcium, and fatty acid mass fractions) do not seem to be contributing to reported differences in loon chick quality as a function of lake pH. However, it was observed that adult male loons holding territories on neutral-pH lakes were larger on average than those occupying territories on low-pH lakes. Differences in adult body size of common loons holding territories on neutral-versus low-pH lakes may have genetic implications for differences in lake-source-related quality (i.e., size) in chicks. The tendency for high in ovo Hg exposure and smaller adult male size to co-occur in low-pH lakes complicates the interpretation of the relative contributions of each to resulting chick quality.
