Body composition and fatty acid profile of the body tissue of Caspian kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum) fish larvae were determined from fertilized egg to 50 days post hatching (dph). Feeding with rotifer started from day 3 to day 7 thereafter they were fed with dry food until the end of the experiment. The changes observed in lipid content and the decrease in lipid levels during larval ontogeny ref...

Abstract In this study, the effects of different feeds on fatty acid composition in Chinese mitten crab ( Eriocheir sinensis ) were investigated. The was significantly correlated with type feed source provided. Differences between groups pertained mainly five acids: oleic acid, linoleic palmitic eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA). content EPA DHA higher group frozen trash fish tha...

The marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum can accumulate up to 30% of the omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and, as such, is considered a good source for the industrial production of EPA. However, P. tricornutum does not naturally accumulate significant levels of the more valuable omega-3 LC-PUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Previously, we have...

Circulating triacylglycerol (TG) arises mainly from dietary fat. However, little is known about the entry of dietary fat into the major TG pool, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) TG. We used a novel method to study the specific incorporation of dietary fatty acids into postprandial VLDL TG in humans. Eight healthy volunteers (age 25.4 +/- 2.2 years, body mass index 22.1 +/- 2.3 kg/m2) were fe...

The desaturation of [1-(14)C] 18:3n-3 to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) is enhanced in an essential fatty acid deficient cell line (EPC-EFAD) in comparison with the parent cell line (EPC) from carp. In the present study, the effects of DHA on lipid and fatty acid compositions, and the metabolism of [1-(14)C]18:3n-3 were investigated in EPC-EFAD cells in comparison with EPC cells. DHA suppl...

The present study was carried out to determine the fatty acid profile of rainbow trout (Oncorynchus mykiss) from three Slovenian fish farms; Zalog, Želimlje and Povodje. Fatty acids composition determined on a gas chromatograph with flame ionization detector (GC-FID). results showed that farming conditions have significant influence trout. predominant saturated (SFA) palmitic acid, oleic main m...

Fatty acid composition has an important role in cellular structure and function. Inflammatory behavior of the airway epithelial cells can be changed due to the manipulation of their fatty acid content, which has a critical importance in asthma. The objective of the present study was to determine the fatty acid composition of human airway epithelial cells after co-culturing with eicosapentaenoic...
