(National Academy of Sciences, 1996)It is becoming clear that an adequate level of lung-chain highly unsaturated fatty acids in the nervous system is required for optimal function and development; however, the ability of infants to biosynthesize long-chain ...
-
(2005)Background: While elevated plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels has been associated to a reduction in cardiovascular risk, dietary fish oils rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may protect against ...
-
(Wiley, 2020)There has been increasing interest in vegan diets, but how this dietary pattern regulates tissue fatty acids (FA), especially in men, is unclear. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of a vegan diet on plasma, erythrocyte, ...
-
(Cardiology Academic Press, 2014)Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) induces structural and functional changes in heart, probably associated with ischemia-reperfusion (IR), a pathophysiological event linked with excessive reactive oxygen species generation. ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Background/Objective: Membrane flexibility can be a determining factor in pathophysiological mechanisms of type 2 diabetes (T2D). As a cofactor of delta-5 desaturase (D5D) and delta-6 desaturase (D6D), and gene expression ...
-
(Springer, 2015)Abstract Antarctic microorganisms have developed different strategies to live in their environments, including modifications to their membrane components to regulate fluidity and the production of photoprotective ...
-
Increase of plasma fatty acids without changes in n-6/n-3-PUFA ratio in asymptomatic obese subjects (2011)Obesity is associated with a low grade inflammation which contributes to the development of insulin resistance and diabetes. The aim of this study was to assess the total saturated (SFAs), monounsaturated (MUFAs) and ...
-
(Springer, 2015)Yeasts, widely distributed across the Earth, have successfully colonized cold environments despite their adverse conditions for life. Lower eukaryotes play important ecological roles, contributing to nutrient recycling and ...
-
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2017)© 2016, © 2016 by the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine. The mechanistic evidence to support the cardioprotective effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are controversial. The aim was to test cardioprotective ...
-
(2007)Objective: Our aim was to study the fatty acid (FA) composition of liver phospholipids and its relation to that in erythrocyte membranes from patients with obese nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), as an indication ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2015)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the main cause of liver disease worldwide. NAFLD is linked to circumstances such as type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension. Since the ...
-
(Wiley, 2020)Background Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been related to the development of adiposity. N-3 PUFA appears to be protective against obesity risk, while n-6 PUFA may be associated with greater adiposity. However, ...
