The importance of omega-3 fatty acids for physical health is now well Abstract recognised and there is increasing evidence that omega-3 fatty acids may also be important to mental health. The two main omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have important biological functions in the CNS. DHA is a major structural component of neuronal membrane...

This review focuses on health beneficial aspects of omega-3 fatty acids and microencapsulation technologies to prevent oxidation and off flavour formation in foods. The paper is broadly divided thematically in three sections. First section of this review discusses the biochemistry of omega-3 fatty acids, their classification and formation of off flavours due to oxidation of omega-3 fatty acids....

What are Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Why are They Helpful? Omega-3 fatty acids have become quite popular because of the many positive effects on human health. Omega-3 fatty acids benefit both healthy people as well as those with cardiovascular disease. Omega-3 fatty acids are thought to improve heart health by lowering triglycerides, raising good cholesterol (HDL, or high density lipoprotein), thin...

Fatty acids composition in edible parts of Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus pelagicus) caught in the Persian Gulf close to the Bushehr Province were investigated. Among saturated fatty acids (SFA), the 16:0 and 18:0 fatty acids were the most two dominant fatty acids in meat tissues that analyzed. 18:1n-9 and 16:1n-7 were the major fatty acids among the MUFAs of male and female crab. The main PUFAs ...

b a ckground:  scientific literature has shown evidence that omega-3 polyunsaturated  fatty  acids  (pufa)  have  anti-androgenic  action,  and  for  this reason could be useful as an adjuvant in hyperandrogenism conditions including polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). however, the possible effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic acid (dha) supplementation on testosterone conc...

Background: Many studies are being conducted to improve the quality of bull sperm in storage conditions. It seems that increasing sperm membrane unsaturated fatty acids can enhance sperm quality. This study was aimed to investigate the effects of combination of omega- 3, 6, 9 fatty acids on characteristics of bovine chilled semen. Materials and Methods: Different levels of oil containing omega-...
