In addition to their beneficial effects in reducing platelet responsiveness, it has been a matter of controversy whether polyunsaturated fatty acids impair the fibrinolytic system or not. In a double-blind, parallel clinical trial, 40 subjects were randomized to treatment with 6 g/day of corn oil,
Yellow maize kernels were subjected to supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction to obtain a lutein-rich extract with potential nutraceutical properties. SC-CO2 extraction parameters (pressure and temperature) were optimized by employing a full-factorial (32) design of experiments and
Mixed results have been obtained regarding the level of insulin resistance induced by high-fat diets rich in saturated fatty acids (SFA) when compared to those enriched by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and how metabolic effects of marine PUFA of n-3 series, i.e. docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fish oil, are reported to alter membrane properties when incorporated into membrane phospholipids. We report that dietary omega-3 fatty acids, incorporated into tumor cell membranes, alter tumor recognition and cytolysis by the immune system. Mice were fed diets rich
Treatment with prescription omega-3-acid ethyl esters (POM3) reduces triglycerides (TG) and TG-rich lipoprotein particles, but has been associated with increased fasting glucose (2-6mg/dL). This double-blind, randomized, controlled crossover trial in 19 men and women with hypertriglyceridemia
Because of concern about psoralen-induced phototoxicity and photocarcinogenesis, we investigated the effects of dietary lipids in a mouse model in which 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and UVA (PUVA) therapy has been shown to be carcinogenic. SKH-Hr-1 hairless albino mice were fed diets containing either
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on lipid profile in hypertriglyceridaemic patients.
METHODS
General practice.
METHODS
Prospective, double blind study of 12 weeks' duration.
METHODS
Eight patients received fish oil (1800 mg C20: 5 omega-3
The impact of ozone on crops was more studied in C (3) than in C (4) species. In C (3) plants, ozone is known to induce a photosynthesis impairment that can result in significant depressions in biomass and crop yields. To investigate the impact of O (3) on C (4) plant species, maize seedlings ( ZEA
OBJECTIVE
This study sought to determine whether omega-3 fatty acids act as hypertension prophylaxis in heart transplant recipients and have an impact on vascular reactivity.
BACKGROUND
Cyclosporine-induced hypertension is probably related to endothelial dysfunction. Suggested vasodilatory
BACKGROUND
Lactacidemia is often seen under stress conditions including septic shock in the newborn. Under stress conditions, plasma catecholamine concentrations are increased and play an important role in lactate metabolism. Our previous study shows that perinatal feeding of omega-3 polyunsaturated
Certain dietary proteins and oils are capable of decreasing chronic neuropathic pain levels in rats after partial sciatic nerve ligation injury. We tested, for the first time, the role of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids in suppressing pain in partial sciatic nerve ligation-injured rats. Six
This study was designed to investigate the mechanisms by which marine lipids rich in long chain omega-3 fatty acids inhibit autoimmune disease and prolong the survival rate in female (NZB/NZW) F1 (B/W) mice, an animal model for human SLE. Nutritionally adequate semipurified diets containing at 10%
A balanced omega-6/omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio has been linked to health benefits and the prevention of many chronic diseases. Current dietary intervention studies with different sources of omega-3 fatty acids (omega-3) lack appropriate control diets and carry many other
Activation of factor (F)VII by tissue factor may represent a critical event during plaque rupture in acute coronary syndromes. Patients with combined hyperlipemia are at high risk for developing coronary heart disease and their tendency to thrombosis may be accelerated during postprandial
BACKGROUND
Recent studies suggest that eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids have distinct effects on cardiometabolic risk factors. The Omega-3 Index (O3I), which is calculated as the proportion of EPA and DHA in red blood cell (RBC) membranes, has been inversely associated with the
