Omega-3 Fatty Acids Improve Recovery, whereas Omega-6 Fatty Acids Worsen Outcome, after Spinal Cord Injury in the Adult Rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a cause of major neurological disability, and no satisfactory treatment is currently available. Evidence suggests that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) could target some of the pathological mechanisms that underlie damage ...

Effect of diet on the rate of depletion of n–3 fatty acids in the retina of the guinea pig

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1998
This study has assessed the influence of maternal n–3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid supply and dietary manipulation after weaning on the retinal polyunsaturated fatty acid profile.

The roles of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in pregnancy, lactation and infancy: review of current knowledge and consensus recommendations. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper reviews current knowledge on the role of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n-3) and arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6), in maternal and term infant nutrition as well as infant development ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Efficient and specific analysis of red blood cell glycerophospholipid fatty acid composition. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Red blood cell (RBC) n-3 fatty acid status is related to various health outcomes. Accepted biological markers for the fatty acid status determination are RBC phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidyletholamine.

Oxidation of an oil rich in docosahexaenoic acid compared to linoleic acid in lactating women [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Background: We studied the oxidation of an oil rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; DHASCO(R)) in lactating mothers receiving a dietary DHA supplement or a placebo. The results were compared with the oxidation of linoleic acid.

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

DHA supplementation alone or in combination with other nutrients does not modulate cerebral hemodynamics or cognitive function in healthy older adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A number of recent trials have demonstrated positive effects of dietary supplementation with the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on measures of cognitive function in healthy ...

Modulation of ATP-Induced Inward Currents by Docosahexaenoic Acid and Other Fatty Acids in Rat Nodose Ganglion Neurons

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2006
The effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and other fatty acids on P2X-receptor-mediated inward currents in rat nodose ganglion neurons were studied using the nystatin perforated patch-clamp technique.

Inverse Association between trans Isomeric and Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Pregnant Women and Their Newborns: Data from Three European Countries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: trans unsaturated fatty acids are thought to interfere with essential fatty acid metabolism. To extend our knowledge of this phenomenon, we investigated the relationship between trans isomeric and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids ...
