A novel omega3-fatty acid desaturase involved in the biosynthesis of eicosapentaenoic acid.
Long-chain n-3 PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid; 20:5 n-3) have important therapeutic and nutritional benefits in humans. In plants, cyanobacteria and nematodes, omega3-desaturases catalyse the formation of these n-3 fatty acids from n-6 fatty acid precursors. Here we describe the isolation and characterization of a gene ( sdd17 ) derived from an EPA-rich f...
متن کاملIdentification of two novel microalgal enzymes involved in the conversion of the omega3-fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, into docosahexaenoic acid.
Marine microalgae such as Pavlova and Isochrysis produce abundant amounts of the omega3-PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid, 20:5n-3) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, 22:6n-3). The pathway leading to the conversion of EPA into DHA in these lower eukaryotes is not well established although it is predicted to involve an elongation step, catalysed by an elongating enzyme ...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 attenuates omega3 fatty acid-induced apoptosis by inhibition of caspase 3.
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) may be involved in the induction of vascular hypertrophy in hypertension. ET-1 may also modulate vascular growth through the exertion of antiapoptotic effects. The omega3 fatty acids (omega3 FAs), which have antiproliferative effects in various cell types, may have a beneficial role in hypertension. We tested the hypothesis that ET-1 could act as a survival factor against om...
متن کاملRed blood cell membrane fatty acid composition in infants fed formulas with different lipid profiles.
BACKGROUND There is growing interest in the fatty acid composition of breast milk and substitute formulas used to replace or complement infant breastfeeding. AIM The aims of this study were to assess the impact of two follow-up infant formulas based on cow milk fat, vegetable oils and different docosahexaenoic (DHA) and arachidonic (ARA) acid content on red blood cell membrane fatty acid comp...
متن کاملRed Blood Cell Fatty Acid Patterns and Acute Coronary Syndrome
BACKGROUND Assessment of coronary heart disease (CHD) risk is typically based on a weighted combination of standard risk factors. We sought to determine the extent to which a lipidomic approach based on red blood cell fatty acid (RBC-FA) profiles could discriminate acute coronary syndrome (ACS) cases from controls, and to compare RBC-FA discrimination with that based on standard risk factors. ...
