Nutrient-based strategies to enhance docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) utilization in the piglet brain
… tissue analysis revealed neutral lipid (NL) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) concentrations were greater (P < 0.05) in T3-fed pigs compared with T1-fed and SR pigs. Hippocampal phospholipid (PL) DHA concentrations of T2- or T3-fed pigs were intermediate to T1-fed and SR piglets. Diffusion tensor …

Depletion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid causes male infertility by disrupting both secretory granule biogenesis and adherens junction assembly in testis
An insufficiency in omega-3 fatty acids has been linked to a wide variety of health concerns including Alzheimer’s disease, CHD, sub-optimal fetal development and male infertility. The long chain omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and omega-6 arachidonic acid (ARA) are highly unsaturated fatty …

Manothermosonication (MTS) and pH-shifting combined treatment for modifying the functional properties of plant proteins: protein-stabilized nanocarriers and protection of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
… nanocarriers to encapsulate and protect docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In study one, a new physical and chemical combined treatment for protein modification, i.e. mano-thermo-sonication (MTS) with and without pH-shifting was developed. This method was tested using soy protein isolate (SPI) …

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 …

Effects of Docosahexaenoic Acid on TGF-ß and SMAD Proteins in COLO205 and WiDr Cells
… are among the proteins known to be modified by docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) treatment in T-cells. Unpublished data has indicated that these proteins may be modified by DHA in colon cancer cells. In the current project, a thorough investigation of the effects of DHA on TGF-ß and SMAD protein …

Iron and DHA in Relation to Early Cognitive Development
Iron and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are important nutrients for brain development. Negative effects of DHA supplementation when status of both nutrients is low have been shown on cognitive outcomes. We sought to determine if DHA status interacts with iron deficiency (ID) and influences offspring …

Use of Omega-3 Fatty Acids to Reduce the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in Type 2 Hispanic Diabetics in Northeast Tennessee.
… at an increased risk for CVD. Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) in fish oil have been found to reduce risk of CVD. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups and received either two grams of fish oil or corn oil (control) per day for 90 days. Before and after the …

Quantification of fatty acids over the gametogenic cycle of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) with varying dietary levels of DHA, EPA and AA
… the effects of dietary treatments on the fatty acid composition of striped bass (Marone saxatilis) blood, liver and ovary over the course of the gametogenic cycle. Striped bass were fed experimental diets in which docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and arachidonic acid (AA) …

Fatty acid metabolism of marine microalgae
Pathways for the biosynthesis of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were elucidated in two heterotrophic, marine microalgae; Schizochytrium sp. and Crypthecodinium cohnii. PUFA-requiring auxotrophs of both of these algae were created and used as tools for …

Hepatic microsomal and peroxisomal docosahexaenoate biosynthesis during piglet development
… and microsomes on the biosynthetic pathway for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from [Alpha]-linolenic acid (ALA) were investigated. Microsomes and peroxisomes were prepared from livers of fetal and neonatal piglets by a combination of differential and gradient layer centrifugation. Microsomes, …

The effects of Omega-3, Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) and Vitamin E on patients with the remitting-relapsing (RR) form of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in Cyprus
… Omega (ω)-3/ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and some vitamins have been shown to reduce the number and severity of relapses and the overall progression of disability in multiple sclerosis patients, however clinical trials remain inconclusive due to a plethora of reasons. In this …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids and immune cell functions
… LA, dihyomo-?-linolenic (DGLA) and arachidonic acid (AA) significantly increase TGF-ß1 compared with non-supplemented PHA-stimulated PBMCs. In contrast, TGF-ß1 levels from PHA-stimulated PBMCs supplemented with a-linolenic (ALA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were …

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 …
