Efficacy of omega‐3 fatty acids as a functional food: a multifaceted approach to health reinforcement

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Omega‐3 fatty acids (omega‐3s) are polyunsaturated fatty acids linked with numerous health benefits. Omega‐3s exhibit multifaceted activities through various mechanisms. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) alleviates oxidative stress by lowering reactive oxygen species and improving oxidative stress in brain tissues and acts against neurodegenerative ...

Diet transition to a high-fat diet for 3 weeks reduces brain omega-3-fatty acid levels, alters BDNF signaling and induces anxiety & depression-like behavior in adult rats [PDF]

, 2012
Background: The consumption of diets high in calories and low in nutrient value is becoming increasingly common in modern society, which can lead to metabolic disorders like diabetes and obesity, and potentially to psychiatric disorders.

Nutritional characterization of Cusco green tea and its synergistic effect with omega‐3 on metabolic and cognitive dysfunctions in obese rats

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Obesity and its metabolic complications, such as insulin resistance and cognitive decline, remain a global health challenge. Green tea (Camelia sinensis) and ω‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are recognized for their antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties.

Dietary fatty acids and lipoproteins on progression of age-related macular degeneration [PDF]

, 2017
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a medical condition of central loss vision and blindness. Numerous studies have revealed that changes on certain dietary fatty acids (FAs) could have useful for AMD management.

Photooxidation of 18‐Carbon Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids to Prepare Mono‐Hydroxylated Octadecanoids

Lipids, EarlyView.
We developed a fast and simple one‐step synthetic strategy to produce mono‐hydroxylated metabolites based on the photosensitized oxidation of 18‐carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). This approach could likely be extended to other PUFAs, suggesting that photosensitized oxidation could be employed to rapidly prepare hydroperoxides from multiple ...

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.

Eicosapentaenoic and Docosahexaenoic Acid Levels in Mouse Tissues After Intake of Echium and Ahiflower Oils Rich in Stearidonic and α‐Linolenic Acids

Lipids, EarlyView.
Dietary supplementation with stearidonic acid–rich Echium and Ahiflower oils increases EPA levels across multiple mouse tissues, while DHA responses remain tissue‐specific and limited, supporting the strategic use of plant‐based omega‐3 sources for EPA‐focused interventions. ABSTRACT Omega‐3 fatty acids (n‐3 FA), particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)

LONG-CHAIN POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS AND THEIR ROLE IN CHILDREN NOURISHMENT

Вопросы современной педиатрии, 2012
The article deals with the mechanisms of metabolism of linoleic and α-linoleic polyunsaturated fatty acids as precursors of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids — arachidonic (ω-6 family) and docosahexaenoic acid (ω-3 famyli).

Higher Increases in Plasma n‐3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Following Fish Oil Supplementation in Postmenopausal Females Compared With Age‐Matched Males

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The effects of fish oil supplementation on omega‐3 (n‐3) polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly intermediates between eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n‐3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n‐3), that may provide valuable metabolic information, have not been fully characterized in older populations.
