The effect of eicosapentaenoic acid on brain and platelet produced bioactive lipid mediators. The effect of eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid and other polyunsaturated fatty acids on the eicosanoids and endocannabinoids produced by rat brain and human platelets using electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry-based analysis.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) with neuroprotective and cardioprotective properties. It is thought that some of the actions of EPA may be attributed to its elongated metabolite, the PUFA docosapentaenoic acid (DPA). Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid …

Regulation of n-3 PUFA biosynthesis in proliferating and differentiated PC12 pheochromocytoma cells
Regulation of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthesis in proliferating and NGF-differentiated PC12 pheochromocytoma cells deficient in n-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n- 3) was studied. A dose- and time dependent increase in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3), docosapentaenoic acid …

Development of Omega-3-Fatty Acid Enriched Finishing Feed and Value Added Tilapia Product
… omega-3 content specifically eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid. The objective of this study was to create an omega-3 enriching feed that would increase omega-3 content in tilapia and subsequently decrease the omega-6:3 ratio. An 8 week feeding trial was …

Functional Analysis of Dehydratase Domains of a Polyunsaturated fatty acid Synthase from Thraustochytrium sp. by Mutagenesis
Very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs), such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6-4,7,10,13,16,19) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5-5,8,11,14,17), are essential for humans and animals since they are parts of the cell membrane and are involved in mediating various physiological …

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids utilization in growing pigs fed flaxseed containing diets
… ground flaxseed (FS); as a source of α-linolenic acid (18:3n-3), on whole body retention efficiency (RE) and disappearance (indirect measure of oxidation) of 18:3n-3, and apparent conversion (AC) of 18:3n-3 to n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) in growing female pigs, using the mass balance …

The missing dimension of cell membrane organization. Study on cubic membrane structure and function
… accumulation of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (specifically, docosapentaenoic acid) in cellular membrane phospholipids. In attempt to investigate the potential role of cubic membranes in biological systems, our results demonstrate that mitochondria containing ordered cubic membranes …

Effects of zinc fortification on the plasma fatty acid composition of Beninese school children : a randomised, double-blind controlled trial
… status biomarker is problematic. The linoleic acid: dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (LA:DGLA) ratio has been suggested by some researchers to be a Zn status marker. This is because Zn and fatty acids (FA) are known to interact, as Zn and FA deficient individuals present similar symptoms and physical …

An examination of the bioactive lipids involved in skin cell inflammation and in response to ultraviolet radiation. Effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on red blood cell and human dermal fatty acid and production of eicosanoids by HaCaT keratinocytes and 46BR.1N fibroblasts following exposure to UVR.
… immunosuppression. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) are considered anti- inflammatory and could reduce the damage caused by overexposure to UVR. Although, n-3 PUFA have been considered as photoprotective agents, their exact mechanisms of action is not completely understood. The aim …

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 …

Studies on Bioactive Lipid Mediators Involved in Brain Function and Neurodegenerative Disorders. The effect of ¿-3PUFA supplementation and lithium treatment on rat brain sphingomyelin species and endocannabinoids formation; changes in oxysterol profiles in blood of ALS patients and animal models of ALS.
… mediators derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids such as sphingolipids, fatty acid ethanolamides (FA-EA) and endocannabinoids (EC). These lipid mediators and oxysterols elicit potent bioactive functions in many physiological and pathological processes of the brain and neuronal tissues. They …
