Deficiency of arachidonic acid during brain development is less reversible than deficiency of DHA [*6]. dementia Evidently an infant's desaturase and elongase enzymes are not fully developed because no amount of alpha-linolenic acid supplement can provide enough DHA for dementia neural development [*52]. More recent reviews have firmly recommended the inclusion of arachidonic acid and DHA in the formula of premature babies [*53]. It seems reasonable to wonder if dietary fat or fat supplements affect the mental function dementia of adults. Experiments on rats indicate that manipulation of dietary fats can alter the fatty acid composition of brain-cell membranes -- with effects on behavior. A diet high in saturated fat was shown to "impair a wide range of learning and memory functions" [*54]. Soybean oil has more alpha-linolenic acid than sunflower oil. Soybean-fed rats have shown significantly better learning and less sensitivity to pain than safflower-fed rats [*55].
