The Role of n-3 Fatty Acids in Cardiometabolic Risk
The work described in this thesis addresses two questions relating 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 …

N-(3-Oxododecanoyl)-L-Homoserine Lactone in the Breast Tumor Microenvironment
The tumor microenvironment is a well-recognized contributor to cancer progression in solid tumors. Cancer cell interactions with abnormal extracellular matrix, tumor associated immune and stromal cells, and aberrant fluid flow all contribute to cancer progression. Breast tumors are often …

The dietary essentiality of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in infant nutrition
Docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) and arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) are deposited in large amounts in membrane phospholipids of the developing central nervous system (CNS). High levels of 22:6n-3 are found in synaptic terminals and retina, and are important for normal visual development and function. …

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 A SYNTHETIC PROTOCOL FOR THE PREPARATION OF MONO-SUBSTITUTED N-3 FUNCTIONALIZED SYDNONES
This work explores new catalytic methodologies for the synthesis of N-3 monosubstituted sydnone compounds. Sydnones are widely studied for their chemical behaviour, biological and physical properties, and are the most popular mesoionic compounds. Despite the popularity of sydnones, there are still …

Safety of n-3 PUFAs during pregnancy and effects on the metabolic phenotype of the offspring
Maternal obesity is the strongest predictor of obesity in the offspring, as it leads to alterations in metabolism in the offspring, perpetuating obesity across the generations. Obese pregnancy is characterised by inflammation and exaggerated insulin resistance, which cause excess transfer of …

Performance and Emissions Study of N+3 and N+4 Engine Models with Several Fuel types Using NPSS
<p>The aviation industry is known to be one of the major contributors to greenhouse gases accounting for 4.9% of the global greenhouse emissions. With the ever-increasing threat of climate change to the overall survival of the planet, the exploration of new technologies and alternative energy …

Effects of n-3 LCPUFA supplementation for pregnant and lactating women in preventing allergic diseases in early childhood
It is postulated that maternal n-3 (omega 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 …

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 …

Long Chain n-3 PUFA and Oleic Acid Modification Strategies to Enhance Fillet Quality in Tilapia, Oreochromis species
Tilapia are freshwater fish that have become important in aquaculture and as a stable global source of seafood due to their ability to thrive in different environments. However, tilapia are sometimes considered nutritionally undesirable due to their high n-6 to n-3 fatty acid ratios. A market study …

Synthesis and biological research of the pseudomonas aeruginosa signaling compounds PQS and N-3-oxo-dodecanoyl-L-homoserine lactone
In order to obtain a better understanding of the complex host-pathogen interactions involved in chronic infections, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa signaling molecules 3-oxo-C12-homoserine lactone and Pseudomonas quinolone signal were synthesized so that the mammalian cellular responses to their …

Modulation of protein expression in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-stimulated TB- IRIS patient-derived PBMCs by omega n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
Tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS) is an inflammatory disorder which affects up to 54% of TB-HIV co-infected patients. Its pathogenesis remains unclear, and although treatment with the corticosteroid prednisone has shown some benefits, there is no specific …

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 …

INVESTIGATION OF THE CARDIOPROTECTIVE AND HYPOTRIGLYCERIDEMIC POTENTIAL OF ECHIUM OIL AS A BOTANICAL SOURCE OF LONG CHAIN N-3 FATTY ACIDS
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States and Westernized countries. Atherosclerosis, the primary cause of CVD, is characterized by the accumulation of cholesterol-loaded macrophages in the artery wall, resulting in a chronic inflammatory response. Consumption …

The intestinal absorption of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids: proposed mechanisms from studies using human Caco-2 cells.
This thesis presents an innovative investigation of the process by which specific dietary fatty acids, the n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), enter the intestinal absorptive cell. The intake of these particular fats and the ratio of n-6/n-3 PUFAs have been correlated with the …
