Changes in omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in human milk over the first month of lactation. Relative amount of the omega-6 PUFA (E) AA (C20:4) and its precursors (A) C18:2 and (C) γC18:3. Relative amount of the omega-3 PUFA (F) DHA (C22:6) and its precursors (D) αC18:3 and (B) EPA (C20:5). For an overview on PUFA fatty acid biosynthesis see Figure 3.
