Essential Fatty Acid Effects on Human Metabolism and Nutrition

EFFECTS OF LONG CHAIN POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACID SUPPLEMENTATION ON ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID METABOLISM IN TERM AND PRETERM NON-HUMAN PRIMATES Ph.D. thesis

Recent Developments in the Essential Fatty Acid Nutrition of Fish

Because of competitive interactions in the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids, tissue and bodily requirements for each of the three dietary essential fatty acids in marine fish, 22:6n-3, 20:5n-3 and 20:4n-6, cannot be meaningfully considered in isolation. Rather, it is necessary to consider requirements in relative as well as absolute amounts, i.e. in terms of the ratio of 22:6n-3 : 20:5...

Essential fatty acid metabolism and its modification in atopic eczema.

Research from the 1930s to the 1950s established that a deficit of n-6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) leads to an inflammatory skin condition in both animals and humans. In a common inherited skin condition, atopic dermatitis (eczema), there was evidence of low blood EFA concentrations and of a therapeutic response to exceptionally high doses of linoleic acid. More recently, it has been establish...

Effects of essential fatty acid deficiency during late gestation on brain N-acetylneuraminic acid metabolism and behaviour in the progeny.

1. Rat dams given a diet containing 100 g maize oil/kg for approximately two weeks before mating and during the first 14 d of gestation, were given the same diet or one containing 100 g hydrogenated coconut oil/kg (essential fatty acid (EFA)-deficient) in place of maize oil until parturition. After parturition the dams were given the same diets and all progeny were weaned to the maize oil diet ...
