Overview

Comparative study shows omega-3 lowers inflammation in pregnant women, enhancing infant neurodevelopment.

Key Points

  • Maternal omega-3 supplementation significantly reduced IL-6 and CRP levels, improving inflammation and fetal health.
  • Infants of supplemented mothers had larger head circumferences and greater biparietal diameters than controls.
  • At 12 months, cognitive scores were significantly higher in infants whose mothers received omega-3 supplements.
  • Maternal CRP levels were inversely correlated with infant cognitive scores, suggesting a link between inflammation and development.
