Resumo: Flaxseed is an oily seed that has been studied for its beneficial health effects. It is considered a functional food because it is a natural source of phytochemicals and contain the fatty acid α-linolenic acid (C18:3 n-3) that can be metabolically converted into docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6 n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5 n-3). The former is essential for the development of the central nervous system. During brain growth, there is a great incorporation of docosahexaenoic acid which plays in important role in the formation of cell membranes. This communication intended to address the likely mechanisms by which docosahexaenoic acid originating from α-linolenic acid, present in abundance in flaxseed, interferes in the formation of the myelin sheath and reportthe best method to see this structure.

É considerada um alimento funcional, pelo fato de ser uma fonte natural de fitoquímicos, e por conter o ácido graxo α-linolênico (C18:3 n-3), que pode ser metabolicamente convertido nos ácidos docosaexahenóico (C22:6 n-3) e eicosapentaenóico (C20:5 n-3), sendo o primeiro essencial para o desenvolvimento do sistema nervoso central. Durante o crescimento do cérebro, há uma grande incorporação do ácido docosaexahenóico, que tem papel importante na formação de suas membranas celulares. Diante disto, esta comunicação visa a abordar os prováveis mecanismos pelos quais o ácido docosaexahenóico, proveniente do ácido α-linolênico presente abundantemente na semente de linhaça, interfere na formação da bainha de mielina, assim como relatar a técnica mais adequada para visualização desta bainha.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9527Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 22 No. 5 (2009): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 22 Núm. 5 (2009): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 22 n. 5 (2009): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9527/6893Copyright (c) 2023 Kátia Calvi Lenzi de ALMEIDA, Gilson Teles BOAVENTURA, Maria Angélica GUZMAN-SILVAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Calvi Lenzi de ALMEIDA, KátiaTeles BOAVENTURA, Gilson GUZMAN-SILVA, Maria Angélica2023-08-31T16:37:34Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9527Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-08-31T16:37:34Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
