Vitamin E deficiency may affect mental health of babies
Lack of Vitamin E in babies when they are in the womb can
increase a risk of developing impairments in mental skills such as
learning and metabolic problems, a research has showed.
The study is conducted on zebrafish as their neurological development is similar to that of humans. The result showed that vitamin E- deficient embryos of zebrafish had more deformities and greater incidence of death as well as altered DNA methylation status through five days after fertilisation - the time it takes for a fertilised egg to become a swimming zebrafish.
However, even after being fed with vitamin E-adequate diet, after their birth, these fish failed to learn and were found afraid.
Although "they managed to get through the critical period to get the brain formed, they were stupid and didn't learn and didn't respond right", said a researcher.
As a result of vitamin E deficiency, the brains of these embryos' continued to lack choline and glucose and simply did not develop correctly, she added.
The deficiency can aggravate in women of child-bearing age who avoid high-fat foods and may not have a diet rich in oils, nuts, and seeds, which are among the foods with the highest levels of vitamin E, an antioxidant necessary for normal embryonic development in vertebrates, the researchers explained.
Further, the Zebrafish with the deficiency in Vitamin E also had metabolic defects and indications of mitochondrial damage.
"They had so much oxidative damage they essentially had a screwed-up metabolism. These outcomes suggest embryonic vitamin E deficiency in zebrafish causes lasting impairments that aren't resolved via later dietary vitamin E supplementation," she said.
