Fish oil (n-3 fatty acids) in drug resistant epilepsy: a randomised placebo-controlled crossover study. [PDF]

, 2014
Backgroundn-3 fatty acids inhibit neuronal excitability and reduce seizures in animal models. High-dose fish oil has been explored in two randomised trials in drug resistant epilepsy with negative results.

Current Trends, Future Prospects and Constraints of Whole Microalgae and Their Fractions as a Functional Feed Ingredient for Animals

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microalgae are a highly diverse group of unicellular organisms that grow in a wide range of aquatic environments and are widely used as dietary supplements for both human and animal applications. Microalgae are rich in lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and other valuable bioactive components such as pigments, antioxidants and vitamins.

Hydrophobic Ligand Binding by Zn-α_2-glycoprotein, a Soluble Fat-depleting Factor Related to Major Histocompatibility Complex Proteins [PDF]

, 2001
Zn-alpha2-glycoprotein (ZAG) is a member of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I family of proteins and is identical in amino acid sequence to a tumor-derived lipid-mobilizing factor associated with cachexia in cancer patients.

Acceptance and Preference of a Commercial Dry Renal Diet in Healthy Cats: An In‐Home Proof‐of‐Concept Trial

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cats diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have shown a better prognosis when consuming an appropriate renal diet, which makes its palatability a key factor in ensuring proper compliance. A proof‐of‐concept trial with a commercial dry renal diet was conducted in 33 healthy cats to assess its palatability over three consecutive 6‐day ...

Effects of arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids on secretion and degradation of bile salt-dependent lipase in AR4-2J cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
In this study we demonstrated that two polyunsaturated fatty acids, arachidonic acid (AA, n–6) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, n–3), modulate the secretion of bile salt-dependent lipase (BSDL) by pancreatic AR4-2J cells.

Dietary management of normoalbuminaemic canine chronic enteropathies

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Dietary management represents the cornerstone of treatment for chronic enteropathy in dogs, with approximately 50% of cases in referral practice responding to dietary intervention alone. Success rates improve significantly when multiple systematic diet trials are implemented.

Commercial Applications of Microalgae [PDF]

, 2006
The first use of microalgae by humans dates back 2000 years to the Chinese, who used Nostoc to survive during famine. However, microalgal biotechnology only really began to develop in the middle of the last century.

Eggs and Associated Nutrients: Implications for Brain Development and Function From Conception to Early Adulthood: A Narrative Review

Nutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brain development is an ongoing process that occurs throughout the first 1000 days of life (conception until 2 years) and proceeds throughout childhood, adolescence and up until early adulthood. Adequate nutrient intakes are crucial for both neurodevelopment inside the womb and critical life‐stages thereafter when the brain continues to grow ...
