BACKGROUND The ω-3-fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is important in infant brain development and maturation. The advisable intake of the ω-3 fatty acids DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) for pregnant and lactating women is 300 mg/d or 9 g/month. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to test the hypothesis that low-income pregnant/or lactating women do not consume advisable amou...

AIMS Clinical studies suggest that intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 PUFA) may lower the incidence of heart failure. Dietary supplementation with omega-3 PUFA exerts metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects that could prevent left ventricle (LV) pathology; however, it is unclear whether these effects occur at clinically relevant doses and whether there are differences betwee...

Chronic consumption of a diet enriched with nutritional precursors of phospholipids, including uridine and the polyunsaturated fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), was shown previously to enhance levels of brain phospholipids and synaptic proteins in rodents. Vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium may directly affect the breakdown or synthesis of membrane phospho...

Dietary fish oil containing ω3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), elicit cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effects through unresolved mechanisms that may involve competition and inhibition at multiple levels. Here, we report the effects of arachidonic acid (AA), EPA, and DHA supplementation on membrane incorporation, phospholipase A(2) catalyzed releas...

Ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and peptide YY (PYY) are potent hormones mediating food intake according to the nutritional status in fish. However, limited information is available on these genes their expression response nutrition silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus). A comparison analysis revealed that ghrelin GLP-1 were relatively conserved marine PYYa PYYb shared a low identity clus...

Objective: To characterize the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) in various combinations on indices of inflammation in recombinant porcine IL-1 beta stimulated porcine articular cartilage explants. Methods: Cartilage was obtained from the humeral-ulnar joints of Yorkshire x Landrace market sized gilts. Explants were harvested from t...

The euryhaline copepod Pseudodiaptomus inopinus play important roles in coastal waters as vectors of docosahexanoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) acids for larval fish. While DHA EPA polar lipids (PLs) are more effective fish development than non-polar lipid forms (NLs), there is little knowledge how much these accumulated copepods from microalgae early larvae. We report PLs fatty acid profi...

BACKGROUND n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, namely docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and can ameliorate many of obesity-associated disorders. We hypothesised that the latter effect will be more pronounced when DHA/EPA is supplemented as phospholipids rather than as triglycerides. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In a 'preventio...

177 Effect of EPA-DHA Supplementation on Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) and Triglycerides in Obese Adolescents With Hypertriglyceridemia Nancy Mendez Berreondo. 3204, Distrito Federal, Mexico. Background: Evaluate the effect of supplementation of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) in FEV1 and triglyceride levels in obese adolescents. Methods: Single blinded...
