Background. Omega-3 (ω3) administration was shown to protect against hypoxic-ischemic injury. The objectives were to study the neuroprotective effects of ω3, in a model of global ischemia. Methods. Male Wistar rats were subjected to carotid occlusion (30 min), followed by reperfusion. The groups were SO, untreated ischemic and ischemic treated rats with ω3 (5 and 10 mg/kg, 7 days). The SO and u...

It is well known that any two diagrams representing the same oriented link are related by a finite sequence of Reidemeister moves Ω1, Ω2 and Ω3. Depending on orientations of fragments involved in the moves, one may distinguish 4 different versions of each of the Ω1 and Ω2 moves, and 8 versions of the Ω3 move. We introduce a minimal generating set of four oriented Reidemeister moves, which inclu...

BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major public health concern in western societies. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the progressive form of NAFLD, is characterized by hepatic steatosis, inflammation, oxidative stress and fibrosis. NASH is a risk factor for cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. NASH is predicted to be the leading cause of liver transplants by 2020. ...

OF THE DISSERTATION Toward the Consistency Strength of Stationary Set Reflection on Small Cardinals By Cynthia Northrup Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics University of California, Irvine, 2015 Professor Dr. Martin Zeman, Chair A set S ⊆ ω3 is stationary in ω3 if it intersects all closed and unbounded subsets in ω3. We say that S reflects below ω3 if there is some α < ω3 for which S ∩ α is sta...

Haptophytes are emerging as sustainable sources of high-value metabolites such polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The goal this work was to isolate a native haptophyte from the southwestern Atlantic coast and evaluate effect low-temperature stress on concentration PUFAs, sterols, pigments during its cultivation. strain identified Pavlova gyrans. Cultures were carried out in photobioreactor fo...

  In this study changes in fatty acids profile during frozen storage at -18°C of Cobia (Rachycentron canadum), caught from the Persian Gulf (Bandar Abbas) were studied. Changes in saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), EPA+DHA/C16, n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA (n-3/n-6) and polyunsaturated fatty acids /saturated fatty acids (PUFA/SFA) were i...

background: endometriosis, a common chronic inflammatory disorder, is defined by the atypical growth of endometrium- like tissue outside of the uterus. secretory phospholipase a2 group iia (spla2-iia) and fatty acid binding protein4 (fabp4) play several important roles in the inflammatory diseases. objective: due to reported potential anti-inflammatory effects of ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids, the pu...
