Fatty Acids as Biomarkers of Plankton Trophic Structure in Table Rock Lake, Missouri
Recently, fatty acid profiles have been used as an alternative to stable isotopes for measuring trophic linkages in freshwater food webs. An advantage of fatty acids is that many different compounds can be resolved and most of these are conserved, providing a "signature” of different food resources …

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, …

Nutritional and Bioactive Characterisation of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Green Shoots as a Protein-Rich Leafy Vegetable
… source compared to traditional vegetables. Fatty acid profiling confirmed a beneficial "leaf–lipid" pattern dominated by α–linolenic acid (omega–3 fatty acid), which constitutes over 65% of the total fatty acid content in field–grown samples. To assess amino acids, an optimized UHPLC–ESI MS method …

Isoflurane : interaction with hepatic microsomal enzymes
… ion and trifluoroacetaldehyde; trifluoroacetic acid is not produced in measureable amounts. The trifluoroacetaldehyde produced binds to microsomal constituents. In human hepatic microsomes, the organofluorine metabolite is identified as trifluoroacetic acid. It is proposed that isoflurane is …

Were do they get their protein from? : Dietary nutrient intake of children in Helsinki day-care centres eating either vegan or omnivore meals
… fat (p=0,007; p<0,001) as well as linolenic acid (p<0,001) and α-linolenic acid (p<0,001) in comparison to the omnivore group. Further, the omnivore group had higher intakes of cholesterol (p<0,001) and saturated fat (p=0,007). There was no dietary intake of EPA and DHA in the vegan …

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 …
