Long-chain n−3 fatty acids and mortality in elderly patients

P3: 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...

Essential Fatty Acids and Long-chain Polyenes

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) and their long-chain polyenes (LCPs) are indispensable for human development and health. Because humans cannot synthesize EFAs and can only ineffectively synthesize LCPs, EFAs need to be consumed as part of the diet. Consequently, the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) status of the developing fetus depends on that of its mother, as confirmed by the positive relation...

Inhibition of Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Food by Long Chain Fatty Acids and Propionate

Concurrent physical activity modifies the association between n3 long-chain fatty acids and cardiometabolic risk in midlife adults.

Greater consumption of n3 (ω3) polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) can reduce risk for cardiovascular disease events, yet their effects on metabolic risk factors and diabetes remain unclear. This cross-sectional study used a community volunteer sample to test whether the associations between n3 fatty acids and cardiometabolic risk vary as a fun...

Binding of long-chain fatty acids

We have studied the binding of long-chain free fatty acids (FFA) to crystalline bovine serum albumin (BSA) that had been extracted with charcoal to remove endogenous fatty acids. The data were analyzed in terms of a model consisting of six high-energy binding sites and a large number of
