Discovery of essential fatty acids [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2015 Dietary fat was recognized as a good source of energy and fat-soluble vitamins by the first part of the 20th century, but fatty acids were not considered to be essential nutrients because they could be synthesized from dietary carbohydrate. This well-established view was challenged in 1929 by George and Mildred Burr who reported that dietary fatty acid

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) as a Source of Essential Fatty Acids – A Biofortification Approach
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Chickpea is a highly nutritious pulse crop with low digestible carbohydrates (40–60%), protein (15–22%), essential fats (4–8%), and a range of minerals and vitamins. The fatty acid composition of the seed adds value because fats govern the texture, shelf-

Transgenic mice convert carbohydrates to essential fatty acids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Transgenic mice (named "Omega mice") were engineered to carry both optimized fat-1 and fat-2 genes from the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans and are capable of producing essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids from saturated fats or carbohydrates. When

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.
