      Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Espinosa Escalona, Alejandra; Llanos Vidal, Paola; Hernández Rodas, María Catalina; Barrera Ramírez, Cynthia; Vergara, Daniela; Romero Palacios, Nalda; Pérez, Francisco; Ruz Ortiz, Manuel; Videla Cabrera, Luis (Royal Soc Chemistry, 2016)
      Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by liver steatosis, oxidative stress, and drastic depletion of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA), namely, eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5 n-3, ...
    • Evaluación de la aceptabilidad de dos aceites vegetales con diferentes niveles de ácido alfa-linolénico en ... 
      Valencia Canessa, Alejandra; Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Bascuñán Gamboa, Karla; Chamorro Melo, Rodrigo; Barrera Ramírez, Cynthia; Faune P., Mariana; Jara N., Macarena; Kuratomi M., Cecilia; Moraga F., Andrea; Silva R., Daniela (Universidad de Chile, 2014)
      Polyunsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3 PUFA), particularly docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6 ω-3, DHA), are critical nutrients during pregnancy with a key role for visual and brain development. Fish, especially oily fi sh, ...
    • Modification of Docosahexaenoic Acid Composition of Milk from Nursing Women Who Received Alpha Linolenic ... 
      Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Bascuñán Gamboa, Karla; Chamorro Melo, Rodrigo; Barrera Ramírez, Cynthia; Sandoval Zamorano, Jorge; Puigrredón, Claudia; Parraguez, Gloria; Orellana, Paula; González, Valeria; Valenzuela Bonomo, Carlos (MDPI AG, 2015)
      alpha-Linolenic acid (ALA) is the precursor of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in humans, which is fundamental for brain and visual function. Western diet provides low ALA and DHA, which is reflected in low DHA in maternal milk. ...
    • Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Composition of Maternal Diet and Erythrocyte Phospholipid Status in Chilean ... 
      Bascuñán Gamboa, Karla; Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Chamorro Melo, Rodrigo; Valencia Canessa, Alejandra; Barrera Ramírez, Cynthia; Puigrredon Lorenzo, Claudia; Sandoval Zamorano, Jorge; Valenzuela Bonomo, Carlos (MDPI, 2014)
      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 ...
    • Reduction in the desaturation capacity of the liver in mice subjected to high fat diet: Relation to LCPUFA ... 
      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 ...
