Assessing the efficiency of ethyl acetate for lipid extraction as an alternative to the Folch method in selected marine low‐trophic species

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
The EtOAc method offers a straightforward and environmentally friendly protocol for lipid extraction, showing efficiency comparable to the Folch method, particularly in extracting lipids with high proportions of neutral lipids and free fatty acids. Abstract The recognized health benefits associated with marine omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)

Docosahexaenoic fatty acid reduces the pro‐inflammatory response induced by IL-1β in astrocytes through inhibition of NF-κB and AP-1 transcription factor activation

BMC Neuroscience, 2021
Background Astrocytes are responsible for a broad range of functions that maintain homeostasis in the brain. However, their response to the pro-inflammatory cytokines released by activated microglia in various neurological pathologies may exacerbate ...

Ultrasound assisted interesterification for enhancing productivity of oxidative sensitive docosahexanoic acid ‐enriched medium‐and‐long chain triacylglycerol synthesis

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
Abstract The synthesis of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)‐enriched medium‐ and long‐chain triacylglycerols (MLCT), particularly with DHA at the sn‐2 position and medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) at the sn‐1,3 positions, is a promising strategy to enhance DHA bioavailability.

Chytrids enhance Daphnia fitness by selectively retained chytrid‐synthesised stearidonic acid and conversion of short‐chain to long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids

Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 77-90, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Chytrid fungal parasites convert dietary energy and essential dietary molecules, such as long‐chain (LC) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), from inedible algal/cyanobacteria hosts into edible zoospores. How the improved biochemical PUFA composition of chytrid‐infected diet may extend to zooplankton, linking diet quality to consumer fitness ...
