Unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs), such as omega-3 and omega-6 poly- and omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acids are important nutrients and major components of neuronal cell membranes. They play a major role in modulating brain functions and physiology and may therefore diminish behavioral and physiological stress reactions in corroboration with decreased cortisol concentrations. Functionally, cortis...

Docosahexaenoic acid [22:6 omega 3; 22:6-(4,7,10,13,16,19)] is the major polyunsaturated fatty acid in the photoreceptor membranes of the retina and in cerebral gray matter. It must be obtained either from the diet or by synthesis from other omega 3 fatty acids, chiefly alpha-linolenic acid (18:3 omega 3). We tested the effect of dietary omega 3 fatty acid deprivation during gestation and postn...

We study the behavior of two archetypal quantum spin glasses at T = 0 by exact diagonalization techniques: the random Ising model in a transverse field and the random Heisenberg model. The behavior of the dynamical spin response is obtained in the spin-glass ordered phase. In both models it is gapless and has the general form chi(")(omega) = qdelta(omega)+chi(")(reg)(omega), with chi(")(reg)(om...

ba ckground: although some studies have shown positive effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on nutritional status of cancer patients undergoing different treatments, there is no consistency in results. the aim of this study was to examine the effects of omega-3 fatty acid on the nutritional status of gastric cancer patients during the course of chemotherapy. m ethods : in a double-blin...

The recent article by Zapata-Gonzalez et al. [1] was highly interesting. The authors have clearly demonstrated the immunomodulatory effects of docosahexaenoic acid on dendritic cells. Data from recent clinical studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids exhibit potent, anti-carcinogenic properties. I personally believe that immunomodulation has a major role to play in these systemic, anti-carcinog...

neurodegenerative disease are characterized by the progressive loss of neurons from specific origins of the cns .alzheimer disease (ad) is a neurodegenerative disorder which affect brain regains that control memory and ability to learn. it is estimated that 27 million people are affected word wide and this number is expected to triple by 2050 due to increase of the population life expectancy. a...

Flaxseed oil is known as a functional oil because of the high content of α-linolenic acid; therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate some physicochemical properties of Iranian extra virgin flaxseed oil (EVFO) and the impact of the refining stages before deodorization on these properties. Fatty acid composition, peroxide and anisidine values, free fatty acids, Crystallization point,...

Let $Omega_X$ be a bounded, circular and strictly convex domain of a Banach space $X$ and $mathcal{H}(Omega_X)$ denote the space of all holomorphic functions defined on $Omega_X$. The growth space $mathcal{A}^omega(Omega_X)$ is the space of all $finmathcal{H}(Omega_X)$ for which $$|f(x)|leqslant C omega(r_{Omega_X}(x)),quad xin Omega_X,$$ for some constant $C>0$, whenever $r_{Omega_X}$ is the M...
