Biosynthesis of very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in transgenic oilseeds: constraints on their accumulation.
Omega6- and omega3-polyunsaturated C20 fatty acids represent important components of the human diet. A more regular consumption and an accordingly sustainable source of these compounds are highly desirable. In contrast with the very high levels to which industrial fatty acids have to be enriched in plant oils for competitive use as chemical feedstocks, much lower percentages of very-long-chain ...
متن کاملSynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in preterm newborns fed formula with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.
BACKGROUND Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPs) that play pivotal roles in growth and neurodevelopment. OBJECTIVE We aimed to quantify the synthesis of LCPs in preterm infants fed infant formula containing LCPs. DESIGN Twenty-two preterm infants were randomly assigned to either the no-LCP group (fed formula without LCPs; n = ...
متن کاملLong-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in the mammalian brain.
Introduction The lipid-rich nature of the brain has been recognized for a long time and it is thought that the presence of myelin in the brain accounts for most of the lipid. However, brain grey matter is also rich in lipid (mostly glycerophospholipids) by comparison with other tissues (Svennerholm, 1968). The polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) associated with tissue glycerophospholipids are de...
متن کاملLong-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Inborn Errors of Metabolism
The treatment of children with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) is mainly based on restricted dietary intake of protein-containing foods. However, dietary protein restriction may not only reduce amino acid intake, but may be associated with low intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids as well. This review focuses on the consequences of dietary restriction in IEM on the bioavailability of long-cha...
متن کاملSignificance of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in human health
In the last decades, the development of new technologies applied to lipidomics has revitalized the analysis of lipid profile alterations and the understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of lipid metabolism, together with their involvement in the occurrence of human disease. Of particular interest is the study of omega-3 and omega-6 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), ...
