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 …

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 …

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 …
