Polyunsaturated fatty acid requirements of murine colon adenocarcinomas
The polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) requirements of three transplantable murine colon adenocarcinomas, the MAC13, MAC16 and MAC26, were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. When serum concentrations became growth limiting in vitro, proliferation of the MAC13 and MAC26 cell lines was stimulated by …

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 …

Computational studies on polyunsaturated fatty acid uptake and its effects on antimicrobial resistance
… has the ability to uptake and utilize long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids up to 22 carbon atoms long. Before this discovery was made, conventional belief was that fatty acids of greater than 18 carbons long were toxic to bacteria. Further investigations have revealed that this uptake is not …

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 …

Functional Analysis of Dehydratase Domains of a Polyunsaturated fatty acid Synthase from Thraustochytrium sp. by Mutagenesis
Very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs), such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6-4,7,10,13,16,19) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5-5,8,11,14,17), are essential for humans and animals since they are parts of the cell membrane and are involved in mediating various physiological …

Studies on polyunsaturated fatty acid content and lipid peroxidation in preterm infant nutrition from non-maternal sources.
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) are essential for infants’ health and development. Preterm infants have particularly high requirements for LCPUFAs, due to premature interruption of the maternal-foetal transfer. Research suggests that current feeding practices are insufficient to …

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 …

An examination of the bioactive lipids involved in skin cell inflammation and in response to ultraviolet radiation. Effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on red blood cell and human dermal fatty acid and production of eicosanoids by HaCaT keratinocytes and 46BR.1N fibroblasts following exposure to UVR.
… and local or systemic immunosuppression. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) are considered anti- inflammatory and could reduce the damage caused by overexposure to UVR. Although, n-3 PUFA have been considered as photoprotective agents, their exact mechanisms of action is not completely …

Influence of the reducing agent triphenylphosphine on cyclooxygenase-1 metabolism of arachidonic acid
<p>Cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolizes the polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid (AA) to PGG2, a cyclic endoperoxide that also contains a hydroperoxide, which is subsequently reduced to an alcohol in the enzyme to yield PGH2. Reactions catalyzed by COX-1 are significantly influenced by lipid …

An investigation of consumers’ decision processes and styles
… The new product in the current study was polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) fed fish, a healthy food. Previous research has found attitude to determine purchase of food products (Shepherd and Farleigh 1986). Other research has found involvement and cognitive style to interact to predict the …

Effects of maturation, polyploidy, and nutrition on growth, composition, and gene expression within fatty acid metabolism in rainbow trout
… growth responses, fillet quality attributes, and fatty acid content. Additionally, changes in gene expression of 35 genes within the regulatory pathways governing fatty acid metabolism of various energy stores were investigated to elucidate mechanisms regulating nutrient repartitioning during …

Human brain lipid fatty acid composition in relation to infant diet
… dying of sudden infant death syndrome. The fatty acid composition was analysed in these tissues by gas liquid chromatography after extraction and derivatisation. The subjects were divided according to their dietary history, either breast or formula feeding. Formula-fed infants were further …

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 …
