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 …

THE ROLE OF BOTANICAL OILS ENRICHED IN FADS2-DERIVED N-3 VS. N-6 POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS IN PREVENTION OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Background: Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) reduce atherosclerosis in animal models and humans relative to dietary saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Although some of the atheroprotection of dietary PUFAs is due to plasma lipid lowering, in vivo conversion of 18 carbon PUFAs …

Ex vivo and in vitro effects of omega-3 fatty acids on joint health in sows and gilts
Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) including arachidonic acid (AA), eicosapentaneioc acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) alter the production of inflammatory mediators. The objectives of this study were twofold: first, to examine the effects of EPA or DHA alone or in combination on …

Cholesterol supplementation in plant-based diets for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
… of supplementing cholesterol with and without dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids in plant-based diets fed to rainbow trout was investigated in two experiments. In both experiments, the experimental period was 12 weeks and fish were weighed on day 0 and 84. Fish were fed to satiation twice …
