      Chilean diets are characterized by a low supply of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA), which are critical nutrients during pregnancy and lactation, because of their role in brain and visual development. DHA is the ...
    • Illesca, Paola; Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Espinosa, Alejandra; Echeverría González, Francisca; Soto Alarcón, Sandra; Campos, Cristian; Rodríguez, Alicia; Vargas, Romina; Magrone, Thea; Videla Cabrera, Luis Alaberto (MDPI, 2020)
      Objective: Obesity induced by high-fat diet (HFD) elicits white adipose tissue dysfunction. In this study, we have hypothesized that the metabolic modulator eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) combined with the antioxidant ...
    • Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Barrera Ramírez, Cynthia; Espinosa, Alejandra; Llanos Vidal, Paola; Orellana, Paula; Videla Cabrera, Luis (Elsevier, 2015)
      alpha-Linolenic (ALA) and linoleic (LA) acids are precursors of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs), FAs with important biochemical and physiological functions. In this process, desaturation reactions catalyzed ...
    • Castellón Vera, Enrique; Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Cifuentes, Federico; Thomson, Timothy; Contreras Muñoz, Héctor (Spandidos Publications Ltd., 2017)
    • Cataldo, L. R.; Mizgier, María Luisa; Busso, Dolores; Olmos, P.; Galgani Fuentes, José; Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Mezzano, Diego; Aranda, E.; Cortés, V. A.; Santos M., José Luis (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2016)
      High circulating nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) concentration, often reported in diabetes, leads to impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) through not yet well-defined mechanisms. Serotonin and dopamine ...
    • Rincón Cervera, Miguel Ángel; Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Hernández Rodas, María Catalina; Marambio, Macarena; Espinosa Escalona, Alejandra; Mayer, Susana; Romero Palacios, Nalda; Barrera Ramírez, Cynthia; Valenzuela Bonomo, Carlos; Videla Cabrera, Luis (Elsevier, 2016)
      Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of dietary supplementation with extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) in mice on the reduction of desaturase and antioxidant enzymatic activities in liver, concomitantly ...
    • Ortiz, Macarena; Soto Alarcón, Sandra; Orellana Manríquez, Paula; Espinosa Escalona, Alejandra; Campos, Cristian; López Arana, Sandra; Rincón Cervera, Miguel Ángel; Illesca, Paola; Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Videla Cabrera, Luis (Elsevier, 2020)
      Objective: Obesity-induced by high-fat diet (HFD) is associated with liver steatosis, oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, which can be eluded by the co-administration of the lipid metabolism modulator docosahexaenoic ...
    • Barrera, Cynthia; Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Chamorro Melo, Rodrigo; Bascuñán, Karla; Sandoval, Jorge; Sabag, Natalia; Valenzuela, Francesca; Valencia, María Paz; Puigrredon, Claudia; Valenzuela Bonomo, Carlos (MDPI AG, 2018)
      © 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Maternal diet during pregnancy is relevant for fatty acid supply during fetal life and lactation. Arachidonic (AA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids are also relevant ...
