Lifelong intake of flaxseed or menhaden oil to provide varying n‐6 to n‐3 PUFA ratios modulate bone microarchitecture during growth, but not after OVX in Sprague–Dawley rats
Abstract
SCOPE: Skeletal health is a lifelong process impacted by environmental factors, including nutrient intake. The n-3 source and PUFA ratio affect bone health in growing rats, or following ovariectomy (OVX), but no study has investigated the longitudinal effect of PUFA-supplementation throughout these periods of bone development.
METHODS AND RESULTS: One-month-old, Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 98) were randomized to receive one of four diets from 1 …
