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...

The aim of this study was to determine the quantity of omega 3 (n-3) fatty acids in commonly consumed species of South Australian fish. Omega 3 fatty acids ranged from 17.7% to 53.7% of total fat with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) as the major omega 3 fatty acid in all 26 species tested (range 9.5 % to 47.1% of total fat). The levels of total omega 6 (n-6) fatty acids ranged from 2.3% to ...

BACKGROUND The role of omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids (FAs) in the development of type 2 diabetes is uncertain, especially with regard to any differential influence of α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). OBJECTIVE The objective was to examine the association between total omega-3 FAs, marine omega-3 (EPA, DHA), nonmarine omega-3 (ALA), and omega-6 (...

Background & Aims: Development during childhood is vital for learning skills. Maternal omega-3fatty acids during pregnancy and lactation play important role in childhood development. The aim of this study is to determine omega-3 supplementation during lactation on the growth and development of infants. Materials & Methods: This is a double-blind randomized trial. A total of 70 lactating...

the biological effects of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are determined by their mutual interactions. this interaction extremely affects various functions. lower consumption of omega-3 during gestation leads to various disorders, even in hearing. we aimed to assess the effect of low omega-3/omega-6 ratios on auditory nerve conduction. in this experimental study, the auditory brainstem response...

BACKGROUND Polyunsaturated fatty acids of the omega-6 (omega-6) class, as found in corn and safflower oils, can act as precursors for intermediates involved in the growth of mammary tumors when fed to animals, whereas polyunsaturated fatty acids of the omega-3 (omega-3) class, as found in fish oil, can inhibit these effects. The effects of dietary intervention on the ratios of these fatty acids...

We consider the theoretical maximum extractable average power from an energy harvesting device attached to a vibrating table which provides unidirectional displacement $$A\sin (\omega t)$$ . The total mass of moving components in is m. assembled container dimension L. masses may be interconnected arbitrary ways. bounded by $$\frac{mLA\omega ^3}{\pi }$$ , for motions 1, 2, or 3 dimensions; wit...

People with epilepsy have an increased risk of dying prematurely and the most common epilepsy-related category of death is sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). SUDEP is mainly a problem for patients with chronic uncontrolled epilepsy. The ultimate goal of research in SUDEP is to develop new methods to prevent it and actions other than medical and surgical therapies that could be very us...
