Polyunsaturated fatty acids and inflammation [PDF]

open access: yesOléagineux, Corps gras, Lipides, 2004
The n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid gives rise to the eicosanoid family of inflammatory mediators (prostaglandins, leukotrienes and related metabolites) and through these regulates the activities of inflammatory cells, the production of ...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids and epilepsy [PDF]

open access: yesEpilepsia, 2010
SummaryOmega‐3 and omega‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are dietary fatty acids that are involved in a myriad of physiologic processes in the brain. There is some evidence suggesting that PUFAs—and particularly omega‐3 PUFAs—may have anticonvulsant effects, both in humans and in animals.

Dietary N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids decrease biliary cholesterol saturation in gallstone disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Because fatty acid composition of biliary phospholipids influences cholesterol secretion into bile, we investigated whether replacement of n-1 monounsaturated or n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in biliary ...

Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids. IV.

open access: yesJournal of Japan Oil Chemists' Society, 1960
Infrared absorption spectra of polyunsaturated fatty acid esters obtained from cuttle fish oils, showed a characteristic absorption at 1395cm-1, in addition to the typical absorption of normal fatty acid methylesters. This absorption at 1395cm-1 was related to the double bond, since by hydrogenation or autoxidation it was vanished away.Methyl linoleate,

Polyunsaturated fatty acids in various macroalgal species from north Atlantic and tropical seas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background - In this study the efficacy of using marine macroalgae as a source for polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are associated with the prevention of inflammation, cardiovascular diseases and mental disorders, was investigated.

Induction of lipid oxidation by polyunsaturated fatty acids of marine origin in small intestine of mice fed a high-fat diet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background. Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), in particular the long chain marine fatty acids docosahexaenoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA), are linked to many health benefits in humans and in animal models.

Placental transfer of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Considerable evidence exists for marked beneficial effects of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) during pregnancy. The omega-3 LCPUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is incorporated in large amounts in fetal brain and other tissues ...

Inverse Association between trans Isomeric and Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Pregnant Women and Their Newborns: Data from Three European Countries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: trans unsaturated fatty acids are thought to interfere with essential fatty acid metabolism. To extend our knowledge of this phenomenon, we investigated the relationship between trans isomeric and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids ...

Essential fatty acids and their long-chain polyunsaturated metabolites in maternal and cord plasma triglycerides during late gestation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The fatty acid composition of plasma lipids was determined in 41 pairs of mothers and their term infants at time of birth (38-42 postmenstrual weeks) by high-resolution capillary gas-liquid chromatography, Linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids were found at

The roles of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in pregnancy, lactation and infancy: review of current knowledge and consensus recommendations. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper reviews current knowledge on the role of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n-3) and arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6), in maternal and term infant nutrition as well as infant development ...
