FABP7 nanodomains on glioblastoma neural stem-like cell membranes are greatly reduced when cells cultured in medium supplemented with the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid DHA. Glioblastoma migration is also under these conditions.

Pistachio nut has high nutritional value. The fat and protein are the common part of pistachio. Major part (about 88%) of the fat content of pistachio includes unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are known to have positive effects on human health like preventing to heart diseases. This research has evaluated protein, fat and fatty acids content of some commercial pistachio cultivar...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of using raw or microwave irradiated safflower seed on dry matter intake, milk production and composition, milk fatty acid profile, blood parameters, and nutrient apparent digestibility in early lactation cows. Nine multiparous Holstein cows at early lactation were randomly assigned to one of three treatments based on 3 × 3 balanced latin ...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids play an important role in human nutrition, being associated with several health benefits. The analyzed vegetables, in spite of its low fat content, lower than 2%, present a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids of n-3, n-6 and n-9 series, such as α-linolenic, linoleic and oleic acids, respectively. Wild edible plants contain in general a good balance of n-6 ...

In a previous work, we calculated the dietary alpha-linolenic requirements (from vegetable oil triglycerides) for obtaining and maintaining a physiological level of (n-3) fatty acids in developing animal membranes as determined by the cervonic acid content [22:6(n-3), docosahexaenoic acid]. The aim of the present study was to measure the phospholipid requirement, as these compounds directly pro...

There are now several examples of plant species engineered to synthesize and accumulate nutritionally important polyunsaturated fatty acids in their seed triacylglycerols (TAG). The utilization of TAG in germinating seeds of such transgenic plants was unknown. In this study, we examined the TAG utilization efficiency during seed germination in transgenic Arabidopsis seeds containing several exa...

The effect of dietary n-6/n-3 fatty acid ratio on alpha-tocopherol homeostasis was investigated in rats. Animals were fed diets containing fat (17% w/w) in which the n-6/n-3 ratio varied from 50 to 0.8. This was achieved by combining corn oil, fish oil, and lard. The polyunsaturated to saturated ratio and total alpha-tocopherol remained constant in all diets. Results showed that enrichment of n...

CONTEXT Some prospective studies have shown an inverse association between fish intake and risk of stroke, but none has examined the relationship of fish and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid intake with risk of specific stroke subtypes. OBJECTIVE To examine the association between fish and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid intake and risk of stroke subtypes in women. DESIGN, SETTING, AND...

background and aims: walnuts are good sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa) and polyphenols which have beneficial effects such as proper growth, decreasing coronary heart disease, prevention of several kinds of cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-mutagenic activities. in this study, the fatty acid content and antiradical activity of different walnut (juglans regia l.) genotypes grown in ...
