OMEGA-3 IN PEDIATRIC PRACTICE
https://doi.org/10.15690/pf.v9i6.524
Abstract
The article is dedicated to omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are found in several marine and plant oils. The author emphasizes that, being irreplaceable, these fatty acids should enter the body with food. Omega-3 regulate lipid exchange, balance functions of immune, nervous and cardiovascular systems, provide generation of prostaglandins, reduce thrombocyte aggregation, are a structural substance of brain and retina. In case of insufficient consumption of food containing omega-3, their dotation in the form of drugs is necessary. The importance of these compounds for maturation and correct functioning of vital systems both in unborn and newborn children is particularly noted.
