After working as a junior doctor in the UK for two years, Dr. Wood is now working towards a Ph.D. in
neonatal brain metabolism at the University of Oslo, Norway.
Newborn piglets are useful animals in which to evaluate
neonatal n − 6 and n − 3 fatty acid requirements because lipid
metabolism and the composition of lipids in the
brain and milk of pigs are similar to those of humans (57).
