Effects of n-3 LCPUFA supplementation for pregnant and lactating women in preventing allergic diseases in early childhood
… 3) long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) supplementation may modulate a range of inflammatory and immune pathways involved in the development of allergic diseases in early childhood, potentially leading to a reduction of allergic diseases in children. Thus the focus of this thesis …

Investigating the Relation Between Genetic Variation in FADS1 & FADS2 with the LCPUFA Content of Extracellular Vesicles from Human Milk
… of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) in human milk EVs. As integral components of the lipid membrane, the specific composition or balance of LCPUFAs may impact the bioavailability of EVs in newborns consuming human milk. The objective of this study was to determine the relation …

Dietary Supplementation of Omega-3 Fatty Acids Influences the Equine Maternal Uterine Environment and Embryonic Development
… long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), especially Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) improves metabolic and reproductive health across species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of peri-conceptual LCPUFA supplementation on endometrial gene expression, uterine …

Studies on polyunsaturated fatty acid content and lipid peroxidation in preterm infant nutrition from non-maternal sources.
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) are essential for infants’ health and development. Preterm infants have particularly high requirements for LCPUFAs, due to premature interruption of the maternal-foetal transfer. Research suggests that current feeding practices are insufficient to …

Effects of dietary alpha linolenic acid on biosynthesis of N-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in animals.
… (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 …

Klonierung Docosahexaenoyl-CoA-spezifischer Acyltransferase-Gene
… are long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA). They are essential for the correct function of e.g. the nervous and ocular systems as well as for reproduction. Additionally they are precursors for the formation of different eicosanoids. The biosynthesis rate of these fatty acids in …

The Role of n-3 Fatty Acids in Cardiometabolic Risk
… to benefits of dietary omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA). Accretion of research knowledge indicates that adequate n-3 LCPUFA intakes may be instrumental in maintaining good health throughout life, including in the optimisation of cardiovascular health. Sources of n-3 LCPUFA traditionally include …

Hepatic microsomal and peroxisomal docosahexaenoate biosynthesis during piglet development
… and [M+18] isotopomers of the fatty acids in the LCPUFA n-3 pathway were detected by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The quantity of each fatty acid was detemiined by gas chromatograph-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and synthesis of each fatty acid was calculated for a 30-minute …

Enteral docosahexaenoic acid supplementation to attenuate inflammation in the preterm infant
… omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) with known immunomodulatory properties, however the effect of dietary DHA on the regulation of immune responses in preterm infants is largely unknown. This thesis employs a multi-system approach to address questions related to the efficacy …

Effect of dietary omega-3 supplementation on plasma phospholipids, neutral lipids fatty acids and antioxidant status of pregnant women with gestational diabetes and their neonates
… stress. There is controversy about omega-3 LCPUFA supplementation and oxidative damage. This ambiguity needs to be explored to reveal its role as modulator of oxidative stress in GDM. Specific Aims: To investigate if (1) GDM adversely affects the plasma omega-3 and omega-6 long-chain …

The importance of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids for fetal immune system maturation and function
Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) are important structural components in the cell membrane and a deficiency in these fatty acids have been linked to clinical complications. In addition, omega 3 and omega 6 LCPUFAs are biologically active substrates for the synthesis of regulators of …

A nutritional evaluation and optimisation of infant foods using microencapsulation
… long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) DHA and arachidonic acid (AA) intakes (at 23.3 mg/day and 36.7 mg/day, respectively) were below recommendations set by the US, at 103.3 mg/day and 147.5 mg/day, respectively. This provides scope for product optimization to improve the …
