OMICS APPROACHES FOR OMEGA-6/OMEGA-3 POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACID RATIO IN PIGS
In general, meat quality is heavily influenced by fatty acid (FA) composition and intramuscular fat, which is mostly dependent on the dietary fat intake of pigs, but it is also affected by genetic variants. In this PhD thesis, we elucidated the effects of dietary lipids, in terms of omega-6 …

Microencapsulation of an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid source with polysaccharides for food applications
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3 PUFAs) provide important health benefits, but dietary consumption is low. Supplementing foods with ω3 PUFAs is of interest, but intervention strategies are necessary to preserve the integrity of these unstable compounds. Microencapsulation of ω3 PUFA sources …

The anabolic and anti-catabolic effects of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on functional muscular outcomes.
Long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFAs) are associated with multiple benefits, primarily related to cognitive and cardiovascular health. Recently, LC n-3 PUFAs, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have received considerable attention from the athletic …

Application of pharmaceutical technologies to improve the activity of cancer chemotherapeutic agents
… cancers). In this dissertation, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, was conjugated to gemcitabine in the 4(N)-amine group to synthesize a new compound (DHA-dFdC). DHA-dFdC shows potent and broad spectrum cytotoxicity against all NCI/DTP60 human cancer cell lines. …

Development of an eicosapentaenoic acid production bioprocess using an indigenous microalgal isolate
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5) is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid of increasing interest as a nutraceutical. An indigenous microalgal isolate suitable for an EPA bioprocess was selected by screening monoalgal isolates from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) …

Mixotrophic Production of Omega-3 Fatty Acid-rich Alga Phaeodactylum tricornutum on Biodiesel-derived Crude Glycerol
… tricornutum, which is an eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) producing diatom. Mixotrophic growth is when cells perform autotrophic and heterotrophic modes of growth concurrently. EPA is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid that has been demonstrated to have a multitude of beneficial health …

The Effects of Feeding Growing Female Rats Different Sources of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Lipogenic Gene Expression and Lipid Metabolism in Liver and Adipose Tissues
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) consumption has increased through diet and supplementation due to reports of health benefits. The objective of this study was to determine whether different n-3 PUFA sources play a role in lipid metabolism by altering lipogenic gene expression, serum …

Use of Biodiesel-Derived Crude Glycerol for the Production of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids by the Microalga Schizochytrium limacinum
… which is a prolific producer of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid with proven beneficial effects on treating human diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and Alzheimer's. The first part of this study provided "proof-of-concept" that Schizochytrium …

Dietary supplementation for the treatment of hyperpnoea induced bronchoconstriction in physically active asthmatics
… and non-asthmatics, (ii) the effects of omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation dose level (6.2 g·d-1 vs 3.1 g·d-1) on the severity of hyperpnoea induced bronchoconstriction, and (iii) the effects of prebiotic trans-galactooligosaccharide (B-GOS) supplementation on severity of …

ESTABLISHING IN VITRO INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELL MODELS IN TRANSLATIONAL ANIMAL NUTRITION
Immunomodulatory nutrients as the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) and citrus pectins (CPn) are reported to beneficially affect the host intestinal immunity. However so far, the biological pathways modulated by these nutrients in intestinal inflammation at the level of intestinal …
