Origin of Carbon and Essential Fatty Acids in Higher Trophic Level Fish in Headwater Stream Food Webs. [PDF]

Biomolecules, 2019
Dietary carbon sources in headwater stream food webs are divided into allochthonous and autochthonous organic matters. We hypothesized that: 1) the dietary allochthonous contribution for fish in headwater stream food webs positively relate with canopy ...

Essential fatty acids and lipid mediators. Endocannabinoids

La Pediatria Medica e Chirurgica, 2012
In 1929 Burr and Burr discovered the essential fatty acids omega-6 and omega-3. Since then, researchers have shown a growing interest in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) as precursors of “lipid mediator” molecules, often with opposing effects ...

Transgenic barley producing essential polyunsaturated fatty acids

Biologia Plantarum, 2014
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) affect diverse physiological processes and human health. Most cereals are poor in n-3 and n-6 PUFAs. Using biolistics, barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv.

Essential fatty acids in health and chronic disease.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1999
Human beings evolved consuming a diet that contained about equal amounts of n-3 and n-6 essential fatty acids. Over the past 100-150 y there has been an enormous increase in the consumption of n-6 fatty acids due to the increased intake of vegetable oils

Short chain fatty acids in human gut and metabolic health.

Beneficial Microbes, 2020
Evidence is accumulating that short chain fatty acids (SCFA) play an important role in the maintenance of gut and metabolic health. The SCFA acetate, propionate and butyrate are produced from the microbial fermentation of indigestible carbohydrates and ...

Essential omega-3 fatty acids tune microglial phagocytosis of synaptic elements in the mouse developing brain

Nature Communications, 2019
Omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) are essential for the functional maturation of the brain. Westernization of dietary habits in both developed and developing countries is accompanied by a progressive reduction in dietary intake of n-3 PUFAs.

Impaired plasma phospholipids and relative amounts of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids in autistic patients from Saudi Arabia

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2011
Backgrounds Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by social and emotional deficits, language impairments and stereotyped behaviors that manifest in early postnatal life. This study aims to compare the relative concentrations of essential fatty

Autistic Children Exhibit Decreased Levels of Essential Fatty Acids in Red Blood Cells

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2015
Omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are essential nutrients for brain development and function. However, whether or not the levels of these fatty acids are altered in individuals with autism remains debatable. In this study,

Atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, and inflammation: the significant role of polyunsaturated fatty acids [PDF]

, 2013
Phospholipids play an essential role in cell membrane structure and function. The length and number of double bonds of fatty acids in membrane phospholipids are main determinants of fluidity, transport systems, activity of membrane-bound enzymes, and ...
