Effect of high dose infant fish oil supplementation and FADS 1 & 2 genetic polymorphisms on cognitive development and school giftedness

该项目将调查在生命的前六个月补充鱼油对智力，语言，行为和六岁时的学校表现的影响。我们还将研究鱼油代谢的遗传差异如何影响这些关系。这些发现将增强我们对鱼油对认知发展的潜在益处的了解，并将为未来有关婴儿配方奶粉高剂量强化的实践提供信息。

This project will investigate the influence of fish oil supplementation during the first six months of life on intelligence, language, behaviour and school performance at age six. We will also investigate how genetic differences in fish oil metabolism can impact upon these relationships. The findings will enhance our knowledge pertaining to the potential benefits of fish oil on cognitive development, and will inform future practice regarding the high dose fortification of infant formula.
