Breast milk: Fatty acid composition and maternal diet

Mljekarstvo, 2013
Breast milk from healthy and well-nourished mothers is the preferred form of infants´ feeding in the first six months after parturition, and breastfeeding in this period supports the normal growth and development of new-born infants.

Brain food for babies [PDF]

, 2017
How does a mother supply a key building block of the brain required for neurodevelopment to her fetus in pregnancy? The critical requirement of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for fetal brain development, and the poor efficiency of its synthesis in humans, is

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 ...

Preharvest potassium silicate treatments influence the morphological appearance and enhance nutritional composition of almond kernels

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The almond industry requires new strategies to improve almond kernel quality. The use of biostimulants such as potassium silicate (KSi) is an eco‐friendly and non‐polluting alternative. The aim of this work was to investigate the preharvest application of KSi solutions at 2 and 20 mmol L−1 to ‘Peraleja’ almond trees during two ...

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).

Dietary essential oils modulate post‐mortem oxidative damage in trout fillets exposed to slaughter stress during frozen storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Slaughter is a critical phase in aquaculture that can severely compromise both animal welfare and product quality. Stress responses triggered during this stage may accelerate post‐mortem biochemical degradation and promote oxidative damage in fish fillets. Essential oils, known for their antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties,

The ethanolamide metabolite of DHA, docosahexaenoylethanolamine, shows immunomodulating effects in mouse peritoneal and RAW264.7 macrophages: evidence for a new link between fish oil and inflammation [PDF]

, 2011
Several mechanisms have been proposed for the positive health effects associated with dietary consumption of long-chain n-3 PUFA (n-3 LC-PUFA) including DHA (22 : 6n-3) and EPA (20 : 5n-3).

Uncovering the Complexity of Synucleinopathies: An Ongoing Tale Between Proteins and Lipids

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases are pathological states characterized by progressive alterations in brain homeostasis during aging. Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, are defined neuropathologically by the accumulation of inclusions known as Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites.
