Evaluating the effect of arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid on induction of adipogenesis in human adipose-derived stem cells
Objective(s): Adipose tissue is one of the most important endocrine organs that liberates many metabolic mediators such as hormones, cytokines, and chemokines. Different types of fatty acids have key roles in adipogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of two essential fatty acids, including Arachidonic acid (AA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), on ...
متن کاملRelationship between arteriosclerosis obliterans and the ratio of serum eicosapentaenoic acid to arachidonic acid.
PURPOSE A low ratio of serum eicosapentaenoic acid to arachidonic acid (EPA/AA) has been associated with coronary artery disease. We retrospectively examined serum concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids in patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) and in non-atherosclerotic patients. METHODS From April 2011 to March 2012, serum EPA/AA was retrospectively examined in 33 consecutiv...
متن کاملProduction of the polyunsaturated fatty acids arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid by the fungus Pythium ultimum.
Several strains of species of the fungal genus Pythium, and of Phytophthora cinnamomi, were screened for content of the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) arachidonic acid (AA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The aim of the investigation was to establish alternative sources of these PUFAs, which are of importance in human nutrition. As a relatively prolific producer of EPA and AA, P. ultimum ...
متن کاملEffects of a trans isomer of arachidonic acid on rat platelet aggregation and eicosanoid production.
The addition of a trans isomer of arachidonic acid (20:4 delta 14trans) to rat platelet suspensions inhibited the aggregation induced by 7.5 microM of arachidonic acid. This inhibitory effect of 20:4 delta 14trans was significant at concentrations of 7.5-22.5 microM and the range of inhibition was 20% at an inhibitor/substrate ratio (I/S) 1 to 66% when I/S reached 3. However, the addition of it...
متن کاملEicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) reduces cardiovascular events: relationship with the EPA/arachidonic acid ratio.
The clinical efficacy of fish oil and high-purity eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (hp-EPA-E) for treating cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been reported. Fish oil contains saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids that have pharmacological effects opposite to those of ω3 fatty acids (ω3). Moreover, ω3, such as EPA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), do not necessarily have the same metabolic and ...
