"Dietary lipid contains fatty acids such as omega-6 and omega-3 that are essential nutrients for many animals and humans," she added. In an animal study, the researchers noticed that when female mice were fed an omega-6-rich/omega-3-poor diet, their offsprings were born with a smaller brain and showed abnormal emotional behaviour in adulthood.
According to Osumi, the brain abnormality found in the offsprings of mice, was caused by a premature aging of fetal neural stem cells that produce brain cells.
