[A supplement with poly-unsaturated nutrients in the development and stabilization of the rat brain]

The supplementation with poly-unsaturated nutrients (linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids) induces in the rat's brain: -through the development, the reduction of both these nutrients and the increase of the arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids; -through the stabilization of the brain, the increase of both these nutrients and of eicosapentaenoic acid; -in consequence of the CCl4 poisoning, the increase of the eicosapentaenoic acid and the decrease of the docosahexaenoic acid: perhaps, owing to membrane-lytic effect of the toxic compound.
