OMEGA-3 FATTY ACID SUPPLEMENTATION AND SLEEP
Previous research has found omega-3 fatty acid supplementation advantageous in reducing depressive symptoms. One of the central diagnostic symptoms of depression is sleep disturbance. Accordingly, this study was designed to examine the effects of omega-3 fatty acid on self-reported insomnia. It was …

The bioactive role of omega-3 endocannabinoid epoxide regioisomers
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), possess anti-inflammatory properties and are a source for bioactive lipid metabolites. Dietary EPA and DHA are converted to omega-3 endocannabinoids (eCBs), eicosapentaenoicethanolamide …

Yogurt as a Vehicle for Omega-3 Fatty Acid Enrichment
Consumer interest in supplementation with healthy omega-3 fatty acids (Ï 3 FA) has led to increased research in fortification of popular foods with these healthy fats. Yogurt, which is already popular, offers a functional food matrix to fortify with Ï 3 FA. Fish oil, a major source of two important …

Cytochrome P450 2J2 mediated metabolism of omega-6 and omega-3 endocannabinoids
… identified as a key enzyme for the metabolism of omega-3 fatty acids, such as eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), producing epoxygenated metabolites that provide cardioprotective benefits. The biochemical study of the CYP2J2 mediated metabolism of xenobiotics and endogenous …

Metabolism of omega-3 fatty acids in carriers of apolipoprotein E epsilon 4
… Studies have found that consuming a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) can decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. However, the benefit of consuming omega-3 fatty acids is not seen in APOE4 carriers. Additionally, …
