  3. A role for polyunsaturated fatty acids in Th1-mediated disease

    Draper, EveDublin City University2008

    The anti-inflammatory effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been well documented, however their exact method of action remains elusive. Dendritic cells (DC) are the most potent antigen presenting cell (APC) and we found that n-3 and n-6 PUFA suppressed IL-12p70 and enhanced IL-10 …

  6. Enhancing the production of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in marine diatoms

    Vaezi, RoyahUniversity of East Anglia2015

    The primary producers of essential omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are marine microalgae, which form the base of the aquatic food web. One alternative source of our ever diminishing stocks of fish and fish oil is via the cultivation of these microorganisms. Unfortunately, these microalgae, of …

  7. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy applied to model membranes: effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids

    Kinnun, Jacob Jerald2018

    Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) relieve the symptoms of a wide variety of chronic inflammatory disorders. Typically, they must be obtained in the diet from sources such as fish oils. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is one of these n-3 PUFAs. As yet the structural mechanism responsible …
