Effect of Maternal Supplementation of Lutein on Brain Functional Organization of Offspring in a Piglet Model

摘要

Lutein preferentially accumulates in human eyes and brains across the lifespan and is associated with visual and cognitive function. Dietary lutein intake during gestation and lactation may influence the development of neuronal networks of the infants. This study aims to provide preliminary data on the effect of maternal lutein supplementation during perinatal period on brain functional organization of the offspring.
