    • Antarctic thraustochytrids as sources of carotenoids and high-value fatty acids 
      Leyton, Allison; Flores, Liset; Shene de Vidts, Carolina María; Chisti, Yusuf; Larama, Giovanni; Asenjo de Leuze de Lancizolle, Juan; Armenta, Roberto E. (MDPI, 2021)
      Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and carotenoids are needed as human dietary supplements and are essential components in commercial feeds for the production of aquacultured seafood. Microorganisms ...
    • Comparison of fatty acid profiles of dried and raw by products from cultured and wild fishes 
      Rincón Cervera, Miguel Ángel; Villarreal Rubio, María Beatriz; Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Valenzuela Bonomo, Carlos (Wiley, 2017)
      Fish by-products may become alternative sources of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, due to the high enzymatic activity in these biological tissues, special care must be taken to prevent ...
    • Profile and distribution of fatty acids in edible parts of commonly consumed marine fishes in Chile 
      Rincón Cervera, Miguel Ángel; González Barriga, Valeria; Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; López Arana, Sandra; Romero Ormazábal, Jaime; Valenzuela Bonomo, Carlos (Elsevier, 2019)
      Fatty acid profiles and distribution among lipid classes in the edible parts of seven commonly consumed marine fishes in Chile were investigated. Peruvian morwong, Chilean jack mackerel and Pacific sandperch were found to ...
    • Quantification and Distribution of Omega-3 Fatty Acids in South Pacific Fish and Shellfish Species 
      Rincón Cervera, Miguel; González-Barriga, Valeria; Romero, Jaime; Rojas, Rodrigo; López Arana, Sandra (MDPI, 2020)
      Fatty acid composition and distribution in edible species of fish and shellfish captured in the South Pacific were studied, with a focus on n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA). Fatty acids were quantified ...
    • Targeting n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease 
      Valenzuela, Rodrigo; Ortiz, Macarena; Hernández-Rodas, María Catalina; Echeverría, Francisca; Videla, Luis A. (Bentham Science, 2020)
      Background: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is characterized by abnormal hepatic accumulation of triacylglycerides in the absence of alcohol consumption, in association with Oxidative Stress (OS), a pro-inflammatory ...
    • Vegetable oils rich in alpha linolenic acid allow a higher accretion of n-3 LCPUFA in the plasma, liver and ... 
      Valenzuela, R.; Barrera, C.; Ayala, J. M.; Sanhueza, J.; Valenzuela, A. (Instituto de la Grasa, 2014)
      ALA is the precursor of EPA and DHA and its dietary availability is limited. Vegetable oils rich in ALA (48–64%) are alternatives for increasing its consumption. The conversion of ALA into EPA and DHA and the ratio ...
