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 ...

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 as antioxidants

Pharmacological Research, 2008
The susceptibility of fatty acids to oxidation is thought to be directly dependent on their degree of unsaturation. However, some in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that the relation between chemical structure and susceptibility to oxidation is not as straightforward as hypothesized from theoretical viewpoints.

Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Ethanol

Advances in Alcohol & Substance Abuse, 1988
Ethanol exposure leads to a loss in membrane polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). It is proposed that polyunsaturated species of phospholipids are not randomly distributed, but are concentrated in the cytosolic leaflets of the plasma membrane and are preferentially associated with membrane proteins. These lipids affect the physical state of environments
