Developing a Valid Screening Tool for Assessing Nutritional Adequacy and Osteoporosis Risk Among Vegans in the United States
… calcium. vitamin D, vitamin B<sub>12</sub>, n-3 fatty acid, zinc, and iron status. Moreover, because of typical vegan diet phenomena such as low BMI, low protein intake, low circulating estrogen, alongside potentially compromised calcium and vitamin D status, osteoporosis is the major chronic …

Long Chain n-3 PUFA and Oleic Acid Modification Strategies to Enhance Fillet Quality in Tilapia, Oreochromis species
… undesirable due to their high n-6 to n-3 fatty acid ratios. A market study was conducted first to determine fatty acid compositions in tilapia fillets in different US markets. Then a research was conducted to enhance nutritional value of tilapia by improving the n-3 and oleic acid contents …

Clinical and biochemical effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on patients with homozygous sickle cell disease
… strongly modulated by cell membrane n-3 and n-6 fatty acids. There is evidence that steady state patients with SCD have abnormal erythrocytes, platelets and mononuclear cell fatty acid composition. The abnormality is characterised by increased levels of arachidonic (AA), adrenic and osbond acids, …

Evaluating fish meal as a protein source for lactating dairy cows
… patterns. Plasma long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were increased with increased fishmeal intake. Mammary slices from lactating bovine mammary gland were incubated with eicosapentaenoic acid. Changes in ¹⁴C-acetate metabolism were measured. Acetate oxidation and incorporation into milk …

Nutritional intake, body composition, plasma lipids and fat-soluble vitamins, red blood cell fatty acid profile and behaviour of Omani school children
… total fat and saturated, trans and omega 6 fatty acids, and low in omega-3 fatty acids and essential micronutrients. The available data on daily food intake and its impact on micro- and macro-nutrients are scanty in the Arab world. Obtaining these data is especially important in light of the …

Systemic and Intracellular Trafficking of Long-chain Fatty Acids in Lactating Dairy Cattle
… are used as ration additives to provide omega-3 fatty acids to dairy cows. Supplementing dairy cows with omega-3 fatty acid-rich feeds does not easily increase quantities in milk fat of dairy cows because polyunsaturated fatty acids are biohydrogenated in the rumen. Lipid encapsulation of omega-3 …

IMPORTANCE OF SUPPLYING DAIRY COWS WITH ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS (EFA) AND CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACIDS (CLA) DURING THE TRANSITION PERIOD ON METABOLISM AND HEALTH
… A periparturient supplementation with essential fatty acids (EFA) and conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) has been shown to influence different aspects of lipid and energy metabolisms as well as markers of immune homeostasis in dairy cows. This study aimed at investigating the synergistic effects of …

Nutritional factors influencing tissue omega-3 metabolism and endocannabinoids levels in experimental models and humans
The nutritional role of dietary fatty acids is quite controversial and often the object of mediatic campaigns either as panacea against all diseases or detrimental for human health. The most recent data are instead showing that it should be considered, in an optimal dietary regimen, the balance …

A nutritional evaluation and optimisation of infant foods using microencapsulation
… the microencapsulation of docasahexaenoic acid (DHA) to optimise the nutrient content of infant food products. New protocols were developed for the quantitative analysis of certain key nutrients including High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) – Charged Aerosol Detection for essential …
