Abstract:
... Plasma lipoproteins are carriers of various glycerophospholipids including diacyl, alkenyl/acyl, and alkyl/acyl glycerophosphocholines (GPCs), which become distributed among cells and tissues during metabolism. For metabolic function, these phospholipids require hydrolysis by phospholipases, but the responsible enzymes have not been identified. We had previously shown that after complete digestion ...

Abstract:
... The use of polyunsaturated fatty acids in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and developmental disorders has been gaining interest with preparations containing different dosages and combinations. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an ω-6 fatty acid of emerging interest with potential roles as an adjuvant anti-inflammatory agent that could be used with ω-3 PUFAs in the treatment of ADHD and ...

Abstract:
... The ROTEM platelet device, a point-of-care whole blood platelet impedance aggregometer, is an add-on to the rotational thromboelastometry ROTEM delta device. The latter has been validated in dogs. We examined whether canine whole blood is suited for analysis with the ROTEM platelet device using adenosine-5′-diphosphate (ADP) and arachidonic acid (ARA) as agonists for platelet activation, and if th ...

The difference in overall therapeutic effects and endogenous metabolic regulation between short- and long-term administration was still unclear. This study aimed to explore the difference in endogenous me ...
... The ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are known to have beneficial effects on health and diseases, and hence their intake is encouraged. However, it remains unknown as to how ω3 PUFAs affect female reproduction processes, in which ω6 PUFA-derived prostaglandin (PG) E₂ and PGF₂α play crucial roles. We therefore compared female reproductive performance between ω3 PUFA-biased linseed oil diet-fe ...

... Traditionally, lipid-producing microorganisms have been obtained via conventional bioprospecting based on isolation and screening techniques, demanding time and effort. Thus, high-throughput sequencing combined with conventional microbiological approaches has emerged as an advanced and rapid strategy for recovering novel oleaginous microorganisms from target environments. This review highlights re ...
... The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of time in culture on fatty acid composition of copepods Tisbe sp. and Apocyclops sp. For experiments, Tisbe and Apocyclops copepodites were separated and placed in 4‐L containers at 5 ind/mL. The fatty acids were evaluated at three different periods (hours) of culture (treatments): T1 = 6 hr, T2 = 12 hr, and T3 = 168 hr. Culture conditions were ...
... There is a growing interest to understand the capacity of farmed fish species to biosynthesise the physiologically important long-chain (≥C₂₀) n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA), from their C₁₈ PUFA precursors available in the diet. In fish, the LC-PUFA biosynthesis pathways involve sequential desat ...

... Amaranth seeds, although a valuable food in Mexico, contain anti-nutritional compounds that can affect food quality. As a part of this work, the proximate composition, fatty acid profile, protein digestibility, and the effect of germination and popping of Amaranthus hypochondriacus seeds was analyzed with the aim of eliminating anti-nutritional compounds. Untreated seeds comprised of 11.35–18.8% p ...
... Linoleate 9R‐lipoxygenase (9R‐LOX) from Nostoc sp. SAG 25.82 was identified as arachidonate (ARA) 11R‐LOX by the determination of the product obtained from the conversion of ARA. The specific activity and catalytic efficiency (kcₐₜ/Kₘ) of the enzyme for C20 and C22 polyunsaturated fatty acids followed the order ARA > eicosapentaenoic acid > docosahexaenoic acid. The production of the lipid mediato ...

Abstract:
... Dairy cattle are predisposed to disease around the time of calving due to dysfunctional inflammatory responses. Oxylipids are lipid‐derived mediators that regulate all aspects of the inflammatory response, and shifts in oxylipid profiles are correlated with disease risk. For example, 20‐hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) is an oxylipid derived from cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450) found at signif ...
... This study evaluated changes in fatty acids from sera, red blood cells, and colonic biopsies from a phase Ib clinical trial of personalized ω-3 fatty acid dosing in 47 healthy volunteers. The trial aimed to reduce colonic prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂), a pro-inflammatory product of arachidonic acid (AA) oxidation. The personalized doses ranged 2–10 grams/day (54% eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA, 24% other ω- ...
