Omega‐3 Fatty Acids and Heart Rhythm, Rate, and Variability in Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Previous randomized control trials showed mixed results concerning the effect of omega‐3 fatty acids (n‐3 FAs) on atrial fibrillation (AF). The associations of n‐3 FA blood levels with heart rhythm in patients with established AF are unknown ...

Docosahexaenoic acid accumulates in cardiolipin and enhances HT-29 cell oxidant production

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
The objective of this study was to investigate membrane fatty acids for their effects on mitochondrial function in live cells. Mitochondrial potential and oxidant production were measured in human colonic adenocarcinoma (HT-29) cells with membranes ...

Linking low docosahexaenoic acid intake to Alzheimer’s disease: caution recommended

Oléagineux, Corps gras, Lipides, 2007
Prospective cohort studies and animal models support the concept that low docosahexaenoic acid intake is implicated in the etiology or progression of Alzheimer’s disease. However, other studies crucial to this relationship are less encouraging.

Regulatory effects of individual n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on LDL transport in the rat

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
Dietary triglycerides containing predominantly poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are known to reduce plasma total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations relative to triglycerides containing predominantly saturated fatty acids ...

Metabolism of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and modification of phospholipids in cultured rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1985
The metabolism of the linolenic acid family (n-3) of fatty acids, e.g., linolenic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids, in cultured smooth muscle cells from rabbit aorta was compared to the metabolism of linoleic and arachidonic acids.

Docosahexaenoic Acid and the Aging Brain [PDF]

The Journal of Nutrition, 2008
The dietary essential PUFA docosahexaenoic acid [DHA; 22:6(n-3)] is a critical contributor to cell structure and function in the nervous system, and deficits in DHA abundance are associated with cognitive decline during aging and in neurodegenerative disease.

Modification of spleen phospholipid fatty acid composition by dietary fish oil and by n-3 fatty acid ethyl esters

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
We have compared the effects of diets containing purified ethyl esters of either eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, or a mixture of both of these compounds, with diets containing either purified fish oil or beef tallow on spleen phospholipid ...

Ophthalmic Diagnosis and Novel Management of Infantile Refsum Disease with Combination Docosahexaenoic Acid and Cholic Acid

Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine, 2021
Infantile Refsum disease is a rare peroxisomal biogenesis disorder characterized by impaired alpha-oxidation and accumulation of phytanic acid in the tissues. Patients often present with fundus changes resembling retinitis pigmentosa, developmental delay,

Pro-resolving and pro-inflammatory fatty acid-derived mediators in sputum of stable state bronchiectasis patients

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background Bronchiectasis is characterized by neutrophilic inflammation and frequent exacerbations often associated with infections. Lipid mediators play critical roles in the inflammatory response, and the balance between anti-inflammatory and pro ...

Effects of Docosahexaenoic Acid on Neurotransmission

Biomolecules and Therapeutics, 2012
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is the major polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in the brain and a structural component of neuronal membranes. Changes in DHA content of neuronal membranes lead to functional changes in the activity of receptors and other proteins which might be associated with synaptic function.
