Oxygenated Fatty Acids of Isano Oil

Four new oxygenated acetylenic acids-8-oxo-octadeca-9,1l-diynoic (Ia), 8-hydroxyoctadeca-l0,12diynoic (3a), 8-oxo-octadeca-9,1l-diyn-17-enoic (4a) and 8-hydroxyoctadeca-1O, 12-diyn-17-enoic (6a) acids-and a saturated acid, 9L-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid (7a), have been isolated for the first time from the seed oil of Ongokea gore (isano). Also isolated were the previously known 8-hydroxyoctadeca-9...

Incorporated Fish Oil Fatty Acids Prevent Action Potential Shortening Induced by Circulating Fish Oil Fatty Acids

Increased consumption of fatty fish, rich in omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3-PUFAs) reduces the severity and number of arrhythmias. Long-term ω3-PUFA-intake modulates the activity of several cardiac ion channels leading to cardiac action potential shortening. Circulating ω3-PUFAs in the bloodstream and incorporated ω3-PUFAs in the cardiac membrane have a different mechanism to shorten t...

Epoxyoctadecadienoic Acids from Crepis Conyzaefolia Seed Oil

The seed oil of Crepis eonyzaefolia (Gouan) Daile Torre contains previously unidentified (± )-eis-12,13epoxyoctadeca-trans-6-cis-9-dienoic (14 and eis-12,13-epoxyoctadeca-cis-6-cis-9-dienoic (2 ~{) acids and the more common vernolic [( ±)-12,13-epoxyoctadec-cis-9-enoic] (32 %) acid.

Fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids.

What are Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Why are They Helpful? Omega-3 fatty acids have become quite popular because of the many positive effects on human health. Omega-3 fatty acids benefit both healthy people as well as those with cardiovascular disease. Omega-3 fatty acids are thought to improve heart health by lowering triglycerides, raising good cholesterol (HDL, or high density lipoprotein), thin...
