Investigating the use of omega three fish oils as protective agents against cytokine-induced skeletal muscle damage
… research indicates omega three fish oils including Eicosapentaenoic acid(ERA), may offer protective anti-fibrotic properties and favoring useful repairprocesses. ERA decreases muscle protein degradation in cancer patients (Smith etal 2005) and increases the rate of protein …

Detection of PAHs in Commercial and Wild Caught Fish Oil using Scanning Fluorescence Spectroscopy
… (PAHs). Some PAHs are carcinogenic to fish and humans. The purpose of this project was to develop menhaden fish oil as a biomonitoring tool for crude oil contaminants such as PAHs using scanning fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS). Menhaden (Genus <em>Brevoortia</em>) is one of the most …

The Analysis, Characterization and the Chemical Syntheses of C(20) and C(22) Cyclic Fatty Acid Monomers Formed in Heated Fish Oil
… and characterization of CFAMs present in heated fish oils and (3) to make available pure standards for use in biological studies. Cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl CFAMs were synthesized to enable the identification of different cyclic fatty acids formed from both eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic …

Physiological Adaptations to the Metabolic Syndrome Following Exercise Training and Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation
… of two interventions (exercise and omega-3 (n-3) fish oils) on insulin sensitivity, cholesterol, obesity, hypertension and inactivity. The study also investigated whether benefits were sustained, and whether differences existed between South Asians and Europeans. Ninety two volunteers participated …

Organic residue analysis of Red Lustrous Wheelmade Ware vessels traded across the eastern Mediterranean during the Late Bronze Age
… dairy products, ruminant animal fats and fish oils as source materials for the fats/oils, while comparison with a small database of modern oils created during this study does not exclude plant oils. Selected samples analysed by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass …

Studies on Macrophage Migration in Pathological Contexts
… fatty acids (obtained from dietary fish oils) have been implicated in cardiovascular protection. Using a high fat diet model the effects of dietary fish oil supplementation and Apolipoprotein E subtype were explored in ex vivo primary macrophages. Unexpectedly, a fish oil …

The dietary essentiality of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in infant nutrition
… premature infants were fed formulas containing fish oils as a source of 22:6n-3. Piglets, which have a similar lipid metabolism and perinatal timing of the brain growth spurt to humans, have a lower percentage of 22:6n-3 in blood, liver and CNS tissues when fed formula with 30% of fatty acids …

The Role of n-3 Fatty Acids in Cardiometabolic Risk
… Sources of n-3 LCPUFA traditionally include fish oils but concern regarding long-term sustainability of fish stocks has led to investigation of alternative sources. Krill oil, obtained from the crustacean Euphausia superba, contains n-3 fatty acids as phospholipids and triglycerides, …

Yogurt as a Vehicle for Omega-3 Fatty Acid Enrichment
… a functional food matrix to fortify with Ï 3 FA. Fish oil, a major source of two important long chain Ï 3 FA eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an excellent source of Ï 3 FA enrichment into foods but brings problems of oxidation and off-flavors or odors when added to …

IMPROVING LARVAL SUNSHINE BASS PRODUCTION THROUGH SUPPLEMENTATION OF FEMALE WHITE BASS BROODSTOCK DIETS WITH LONG-CHAIN POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
… requirements for somatic growth of juvenile fishes differ from nutritional requirements of mature fishes and are largely species-specific. Broodstock nutritional research has focused primarily on lipid and fatty acid requirements and their effects on reproductive conditioning due to the …

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy applied to model membranes: effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids
… be obtained in the diet from sources such as fish oils. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is one of these n-3 PUFAs. As yet the structural mechanism responsible for the health benefits within the body is not completely understood. One model that has emerged from biochemical and imaging studies of …

Quality and safety of oils and fats obtained as co-products or by-products of the food chain and destined to animal production
… contaminants (dioxins and PCBs) (two different fish oils), PAH (olive oil acid oils and pomace olive oil from chemical refining, for low and high levels) and oxidation products (sunflower-olive oil blend before and after frying), so as to obtain single feedings with three enrichment degrees …

Role of the Leukotriene B4 Metabolic Pathway in Human Pancreatic Cancer
… (DHA) that are found in high concentrations in fish oils, have anticancer effects. Two major metabolic pathways exist for arachidonic acid, namely the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway and the lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway. Earlier investigations into the role of arachidonic acid metabolism in cancers …
