An in vitro model for essential fatty acid deficiency: HepG2 cells permanently maintained in lipid-free medium.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1992
A stable essential fatty acid-deficient cell type, known as HepG2-EFD, was derived from the lipoprotein-producing human hepatoma cell line HepG2. These cells are particularly useful for quantitative studies involving essential fatty acids (n-6 and n-3 ...

Intestinal absorption of essential fatty acids under physiological and essential fatty acid-deficient conditions

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1997
The adequate supply of essential fatty acids (EFA) to the body depends upon sufficient dietary intake and subsequent efficient intestinal absorption. Lipid malabsorption is not only a leading cause of EFA deficiency (EFAD), but also occurs secondarily to

Hydrated lime matrix decreases ruminal biohydrogenation of flaxseed fatty acids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients for humans, but dietary intake of these nutrients by many Americans is inadequate due to low consumption of omega-3-rich foods such as fish, walnuts, and flaxseed.

Essential fatty acids and lipid mediators. Endocannabinoids

open access: yesLa 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 ...
