Effect of Treatment with Docosahexaenoic Acid into N-3 Fatty Acid Adequate Diet on Learning Related Brain Function in Rat. Sun-Young Lim*. Division of Marine Environment & Bioscience, Korea Maritime University, Busan, 609-761, Korea The effect of adding docosahexaenoic acid into an n-3 fatty acid adequate diet on the improvement of learning related brain function was investigated. On the second...

polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) particularly ω-3 pufas showed great assure in prevention of cardiovascular diseases (cvd). the evidence for cv benefits of pufa comes from eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) with or without docosahexaenoic acid (dha) in primary prevention, after myocardial infarction (mi), with heart failure (hf). the epidemiologic studies and trials showing the benefits of pufa, sp...

Maresins are a new family of anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving lipid mediators biosynthesized from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by macrophages. Here we identified a novel pro-resolving product, 13R,14S-dihydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid (13R,14S-diHDHA), produced by human macrophages. PCR mapping of 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) mRNA sequence in human macrophages and platelet showed that they are identi...

The microsomal synthesis of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from radiolabeled eicosapentaenoic acid was tested in vitro using the livers of crab-eating monkeys. The test animals included 1 fetus (embryonic day 120), 2 neonates (full-term, embryonic day 165), and 2 adults. DHA was formed equally in the liver microsomes of each animal. Neonatal livers were found to contain higher percent of arachidoni...

An increase in the proportion of fatty acids with higher numbers of double bonds is believed to increase lipid peroxidation, which augments the risk for many chronic diseases. (n-3) Polyunsaturated fatty acids provide various health benefits, but there is a concern that they might increase lipid peroxidation. We examined the effects of docosahexaenoic acid [22:6 (n-3)] supplementation on lipid ...

Background: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) plus docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation has beneficial cardiovascular effects, but postprandial influences of these individual fatty acids are

changes in the fatty acid content, during frozen storage at -24°c of caspian kutum (rutilus frisii kutum), golden grey mullet (liza aurata), common carp (caprinus carpio), pike perch (sander lucioperca) and common kilka (clupeonella cultiventris caspia), caught from south caspian sea were studied in the present work. changes in saturated fatty acids (sfas), monounsaturated fatty acids (mufas), ...

We investigated effect of docosahexaenoic acid on lipoprotein synthesis and secretion by cultured eel hepatocytes. When eel hepatocytes were incubated with 1 mM docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) at 28 degrees C for 24 h, triacylglycerol (TG), free cholesterol (FC), and cholesteryl ester (CE) syntheses from 14C-acetate increased 9.7-, 1.6-, and 8.5-fold, respectively, and the specific activity of TG wa...
