В статье рассмотрены механизмы обмена линолевой и α-линоленовой полиненасыщенных жирных кислот как предшественников длинноцепочечных полиненасыщенных жирных кислот — арахидоновой (семейство ω-6) и докозагексаеновой (семейство ω-3). Приведены результаты современных экспериментальных и клинических исследований, посвященных изучению их влияния на когнитивное развитие и остроту зрения у животных, недоношенных детей и младенцев, родившихся в срок.
