Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: Biotechnology

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2006
Polyunsaturated fatty acids like EPA and DHA have attracted a great attention due to their beneficial effects on human health. At present, fish oil is the major source of EPA and DHA. Various alternative sources are being explored to get these essential fatty acids.

Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids

Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 2011
The immune system tends to become less efficient as people age, and nutrition plays a significant role in older adults’ immune responses. In particular, dietary fatty acids are precursors to important immune system components. Certain fatty acids, predominantly those that are polyunsaturated, also tend to decrease the risk of certain neurological ...

Enzymatic Purification of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids.

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2001
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have various physiological functions. Of these, ethyl eicosapentaenoate is industrially purified and used as a medicine. Other PUFAs, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), and arachidonic acid (AA), are also expected to be used as pharmaceutical agents; however, their industrial purification

The Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids of Microorganisms

1966
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the polyunsaturated fatty acids of microorganisms. Polyunsaturated or polyenoic fatty acids are those long-chain fatty acids that include two or more double bonds in the molecule. It is widely accepted that bacteria are incapable of synthesizing polyenoic fatty acids, and this generalization applies equally to

Plasmalogens and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids

2008
The analysis of polyunsaturated fatty acids (“essential fatty acids”) in plasma and erythrocytes is carried out by gas chromatography of their methyl esters following trans-methylation of the fatty acid esters. The O-alkenyl ethers or plasmalogens – an important group of phospholipids – are converted into dimethylacetals in this process and can be ...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids in infant nutrition

Acta Paediatrica, 1994
The availability of long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCP), such as arachidonic (C20:4n‐6) and docosahexaenoic (C22:6n‐3) acids, is important for early human growth and development. The capacity for endogenous synthesis of LCP from the precursor fatty acids lineoleic (C18:2n‐6) and alpha‐linolenic (C18:3n‐3) acid is limited in preterm and ...

Regulation of the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1988
The object of the present work has been to assess some aspects of the control of the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In these studies we have used isolated cells; hepatocytes and cardiac myocytes from rat, and lymphocytes and fibroblasts from humans.
