Docosahexaenoic acid synthesis in human skin fibroblasts involves peroxisomal retroconversion of tetracosahexaenoic acid

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the formation of docosahexaenoic acid in human cells occurs through a pathway that involves 24-carbon n-3 fatty acid intermediates and retroconversion.

Docosahexaenoic Acid and Eicosapentaenoic Acid Intakes Modulate the Association of FADS2 Gene Polymorphism rs526126 with Plasma Free Docosahexaenoic Acid Levels in Overweight Children

Applied Sciences, 2021
Polyunsaturated fatty acids are involved in a wide variety of biological functions. Linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid are two essential fatty acids that the body cannot synthesize.

Altering 15‐Lipoxygenases to 18‐Lipoxygenases and Their Application to the Production of 5,18‐Dihydroxyeicosapentaenoic Acids

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
15R‐ and 15S‐lipoxygenases (15R‐ and 15S‐LOXs) were engineered into 18R‐ and 18S‐LOXs, respectively. Escherichia coli expressing these enzymes converted eicosapentaenoic acid into 18R‐ and 18S‐hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acids (18R‐ and 18S‐HEPEs), respectively.

Efficient One‐Step Production of 7S,17S‐ and 10S,17S‐Dihydroxydocosahexaenoic Acids by a Double‐Oxygenating 15S‐Lipoxygenase From Chlamydomonas incerta

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Biotransformation pathway from polyunsaturated fatty acids into dihydroxy fatty acids as lipid mediators by Escherichia coli expressing Chlamydomonas incerta 15S‐lipoxygenase with double oxygenating activity. The 15S‐lipoxygenase was the most efficient for the simultaneous production of resolvin D5 (7S,17S‐dihydroxydocosahexaenoic acid, 7S,17S‐DiHDHA ...

Effects of low‐dust forages on dust exposure, airway cytology, and plasma omega‐3 concentrations in Thoroughbred racehorses: A randomized clinical trial

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 338-348, January/February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Racehorses commonly develop evidence of mild asthma in response to dust exposure. Diets deficient in omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Ω‐3) might exacerbate this response. Hypothesis To compare dust exposure, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cytology, and plasma Ω‐3 and specialized pro‐resolving mediators (SPM) concentrations ...

Automated system of tubular filtration for rotifer production

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1145-1154, December 2022., 2022
Abstract This study developed an automated filtration system for a selected rotifer, Brachionus ibericus. This system is controlled by a programmable logic controller, and it enables the high‐density cultivation of marine rotifers and the selection of rotifers for palatability.

Uptake of long chain fatty acids by human placental choriocarcinoma (BeWo) cells: role of plasma membrane fatty acid-binding protein

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997
In order to understand the mechanisms by which fatty acids are taken up by the placenta, the uptake of oleic, linoleic, arachidonic, and docosahexaenoic acids by cultured human placental choriocarcinoma (BeWo) cells was examined.
