Studies on the metabolic fate of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Several different processes involved in the metabolic fate of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n-3) and its precursor in the biosynthesis route, C24:6n-3, were studied. In cultured skin fibroblasts, the oxidation rate of [1-14C] 24:6n-3 was 2.7 times higher than for [1-14C]22:6n-3, whereas [1-14C]22:6n-3 was incorporated 7 times faster into different lipid classes than was [1-14C]24:6n-3. When d...
متن کاملMetabolic Effects of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Chickens: A Review
Chicken has been used as a suitable model for lipid metabolism studies, because dietary modifications especially dietary fat type can change chicken body composition. Fats act as a condense source of energy and certain fatty acids such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are required for both animal and human health. The n-3 PUFAs, especially, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic ...
متن کاملn-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and cancer.
n-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids are promising molecules in cancer prevention and the potentiation of cancer treatment. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of their interactions with other food components. Their effects on tumor growth depend upon background levels of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, and this could account for previously inconsistent results in experi...
متن کاملEffects of N-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Dementia
N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) including α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have anti-inflammatory effects and neuronal protective functions and may benefit prevention of dementia; however, the epidemiological evidence is very limited. Therefore, the literature about the association between n-3 PUFA and dementia was searched, by using Pub...
متن کاملIntravenous infusion of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is regarded as beneficial for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis and thrombosis and chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. It may be possible to treat some acute diseases like acute myocardial infarction or acute rejection of grafted organs if it is possible to make n-3 PUFA take eff...
