Neuronal lipolysis participates in PUFA-mediated neural function and neurodegeneration
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic cytoplasmic organelles present in most eukaryotic cells. The appearance of LDs in neurons is not usually observed under physiological conditions, but is associated with neural diseases.

Linoleic acid intake, plasma cholesterol and 10-year incidence of CHD in 20.000 middle-aged men and women in the Netherlands [PDF]
We studied the associations of a difference in linoleic acid or carbohydrate intake with plasma cholesterol levels and risk of CHD in a prospective cohort study in the Netherlands. Data on diet (FFQ) and plasma total and HDL-cholesterol were available at

Gene–PUFA interactions and obesity risk [PDF]
Although there are indications for modulatory effects of PUFA on associations between SNP and obesity risk, scientific evidence in human subjects is still scarce. The present analyses investigated interaction effects between SNP in candidate genes for obesity and PUFA in erythrocyte membranes on obesity risk. Within the second Bavarian Food Consumption

Doxorubicin Affects Testicular Lipids with Long-Chain (C18-C22) and Very Long-Chain (C24-C32) Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids [PDF]
Doxorubicin disrupts spermatogenesis by causing apoptosis of spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of this agent on adult rat testicular lipids and their fatty acids.

FADS Gene Cluster Polymorphisms: Important Modulators of Fatty Acid Levels and Their Impact on Atopic Diseases [PDF]
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) play an important role in several physiological processes and their concentration in phospholipids has been associated with several complex diseases, such as atopic disease.

Association of fatty acid desaturase 2 gene polymorphism (rs28456) with susceptibility to bipolar disorder in the Turkish population: A case-control study [PDF]
The FADS2 gene encodes a key, rate-limiting enzyme involved in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) metabolism. Recent studies suggest that changes in plasma PUFA levels can lead to disruptions in the neurotransmission system and increase the risk of mood ...

Current bioeconomical interest in stramenopilic Eustigmatophyceae: a review
Today’s global problems and challenges have given rise to a new field of interest – bioeconomics. It is strongly related to phycoprospecting, or searching for specific algal strains of commercial importance.
