Production of the polyunsaturated fatty acids arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid by the fungus Pythium ultimum.
Several strains of species of the fungal genus Pythium, and of Phytophthora cinnamomi, were screened for content of the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) arachidonic acid (AA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The aim of the investigation was to establish alternative sources of these PUFAs, which are of importance in human nutrition. As a relatively prolific producer of EPA and AA, P. ultimum ...
متن کاملHealth benefits of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid.
Marine-based fish and fish oil are the most popular and well-known sources of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), namely, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These n-3 PUFAs are known to have variety of health benefits against cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) including well-established hypotriglyceridemic and anti-inflammatory effects. Also, various studies indicate p...
متن کاملω-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on the Prognosis of Multiple Sclerosis: The Effect of Eicosapentaenoic acid
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease that is a major cause of disability in young adults in Europe and North America [1]. The clinical course of MS is unpredictable and varies individually, with some patients experiencing minimal impairment. The majority of patients have a form of MS referred to as relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) characterized by periods of clinical stability...
متن کاملSuppression of fatty acid synthase promoter by polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Dietary polyunsaturated fat is known to suppress expression of fatty acid synthase (FAS), a central enzyme in de novo lipogenesis. The sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) has recently been shown to be involved in this suppression. We previously reported that the first 2.1 kb of the FAS promoter are sufficient for transcriptional induction by a high carbohydrate diet as well as sup...
متن کاملA neuronal two P domain K+ channel stimulated by arachidonic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
TWIK-1, TREK-1 and TASK K+ channels comprise a class of pore-forming subunits with four membrane-spanning segments and two P domains. Here we report the cloning of TRAAK, a 398 amino acid protein which is a new member of this mammalian class of K+ channels. Unlike TWIK-1, TREK-1 and TASK which are widely distributed in many different mouse tissues, TRAAK is present exclusively in brain, spinal ...
