FADS2 expression modulates effect of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids on western diet-induced glucose intolerance
Fatty Acid Desaturase 2 (FADS2) haplotypes associated with hyperactivity of its gene product, delta-6-desaturase (D6D), are associated with obesity and type-2 diabetes in humans. D6D regulates long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthesis and is upregulated in several rodent models of …

IMPORTANCE OF SUPPLYING DAIRY COWS WITH ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS (EFA) AND CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACIDS (CLA) DURING THE TRANSITION PERIOD ON METABOLISM AND HEALTH
… supplementation with essential fatty acids (EFA) and conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) has been shown to influence different aspects of lipid and energy metabolisms as well as markers of immune homeostasis in dairy cows. This study aimed at investigating the synergistic effects of EFA, …

Adattamento e acclimatazione a diverse temperature di lieviti psicrofili obbligati e facoltativi e di lieviti mesofili. Studio della produzione di acidi grassi polinsaturi omega-3 e omega-6 per via fermentativa.
… Production of ω-3 and ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids by fermentative way. Obligate psychrophilic, facultative psychrophilic and mesophilic yeasts were cultured in a carbon rich medium at different temperatures to investigate if growth parameters, lipid accumulation and fatty acid composition …

The role of dietary arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in preventing the phenotype observed with highly unsaturated fatty acid deficiency
… physiological roles of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA), mainly arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4ω6) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6ω3), are not completely understood. In order to study specific functions for AA and DHA, a delta-6 desaturase knockout (D6D-/-) mouse was created. D6D is a key …

Effects of dietary alpha linolenic acid on biosynthesis of N-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in animals.
Omega-3 (n-3) long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), are important for normal health as well as growth and brain development in humans. These fatty acids can be consumed in the diet directly, or …

THE OMEGA-6: OMEGA-3 FATTY ACID RATIO IN SWINE NUTRITION: LONG-TERM EFFECTS ON PERFORMANCE, MILK FATTY ACID PROFILES, OXIDATIVE STATUS, AND PROTEOMES
The ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are characterized as micronutrients and are usually deficient in animal diets. Frequently excessive animal consumption of ω6 PUFAs from corn and other grains compared to ω3 PUFAs (or high dietary ω6:ω3 ratio) leads to various performance and health …

In vitro screening of commercial sorghum hybrids and omega-3 supplementation in Holstein steers
… hours. Cumulative gas production, volatile fatty acids concentrations from in vitro cultures, and in vitro dry matter disappearance were measured and used to assess how well microbes digested each grain. In situ dry matter disappearance (ISDMD) was measured for ground and RE processed grain to …
