Long-Chain (n-3) Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Are More Efficient than α-Linolenic Acid in Improving Electroretinogram Responses of Puppies Exposed during Gestation, Lactation, and Weaning
TL;DR: Findings indicate that preformed dietary (n-3) LCPUFA is more effective than ALA in enriching plasma DHA during perinatal development and results in improved visual performance in developing dogs.

Dietary fatty acids alter plasma lipids and lipoprotein distributions in dogs during gestation, lactation, and the perinatal period.
TL;DR: The increase in beta-lipoprotein cholesterol in puppies during wk 1 of life is consistent with an earlier report of increased canine apoprotein B,E receptor activities in immature dogs compared with undetectable activities in mature animals in which the HDL fractions become even more predominant in this species.
Retinal Functions of Young Dogs Are Improved and Maternal Plasma Phospholipids Are Altered with Diets Containing Long-Chain n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids during Gestation, Lactation, and after Weaning
TL;DR: Retinal Functions of Young Dogs are Improved and Maternal Plasma Phospholipids are Altered with Diets Containing Long-Chain n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids during Gestation, Lactation, and after Weaning.
