Effects of LC-PUFA (Long Chain Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids) in Infancy
LC-PUFA (Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids) is those polyunsaturated fatty acids which have more than 20 carbon atoms and 2 or more double bindings. Most important LC-PUFA are EPA or Eicosapentaenoic acid (C 20:5 n-3), AA or Arachidonic acid (C 20:4 n-6) and DHA or Docosahexaenoic Acid (C 22:6 n-3). LCPUFA is important for the structural and functional development of an infant. Such as low...
متن کاملPlacental transfer of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA).
Considerable evidence exists for marked beneficial effects of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) during pregnancy. The omega-3 LC-PUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is incorporated in large amounts in fetal brain and other tissues during the second half of pregnancy, and several studies have provided evidence for a link between early DHA status of the mother and visual and co...
متن کاملP3: Food and Behavior: Long Chain Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids and Anxiety
The anecdote "we are what we eat" in line with the doctrine of Hypocrates in 400 BC “Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food” are vividly portray the importance of daily regimen in human health and body well-functioning. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests the relative intake of specific nutrients can have a profound effect on physiology of individuals...
متن کاملBiotransformation of Unsaturated Long-Chain Fatty Acids by Eubacterium lentum.
Eubacterium lentum (33 strains) isomerized the 12-cis double bond of C(18) fatty acids with cis double bonds at C-9 and C-12 into an 11-trans double bond before reduction of the 9-cis double bond. The 14-cis double bond of homo-gamma-linolenic acid was isomerized by 29 strains into a 13-trans double bond. The same strains isomerized the 14-cis double bond of arachidonic acid into a 13-trans dou...
متن کاملGenes Involved in the Metabolism of Poly-Unsaturated Fatty-Acids (PUFA) and Risk for Crohn's Disease in Children & Young Adults
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Epidemiological evidence for the role of polyunsaturated fatty-acids (PUFA) in Crohn's disease (CD) is unclear, although the key metabolite leucotriene B4 (LTB(4)) is closely linked to the inflammatory process. We hypothesized that inherited variation in key PUFA metabolic enzymes may modify susceptibility for CD. METHODS AND PRINCIPAL RESULTS A case-control design w...
