During the last decade, several G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) that respond to dietary lipid metabolites including free fatty acids (FFAs) have been discovered. These receptors have been implicated in metabolic processes and inflammation. Consequently, several of the receptors have attracted
Study Design:
12 week Randomized, single blind, placebo-Controlled Trial (RCT) was conducted at King Edward medical university, psychiatry & behavioral sciences department Lahore. From 19 May 2017 to 16 August 2017 one capsule of omega-3 (EPA 300mg, and 200mg DHA) were given (38, 39), or placebo
All pregnant women meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be identified at the time of their regular OB appointments between the 8th and the 14th week of pregnancy (+/- 3 days) Research team members will approach potential subjects to explain the study and obtain consent for their
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the greatest health challenges worldwide. The disease is strongly associated with obesity, and develops via pre-diabetic conditions, where insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation play an important role, to T2D, where failure of the pancreatic beta-cell to
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the greatest health challenges worldwide. The disease is strongly associated with obesity, and develops via pre-diabetic conditions, where insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation play an important role, to T2D, where failure of the pancreatic beta-cell to
Double-blind placebo controlled study with two groups: a PUFA supplemented group (over 5 weeks) and a placebo (corn syrup) group. Participants are matched for initial exercise performance and assigned to each of the two groups systematically so the initial group means are similar. This is done by
Since 2007, RUTF has been the recommended treatment for SAM. RUTF is not conducive to the growth of bacteria because of the low moisture content, does not require cooking, and has led to greater recovery rates than liquid milk formulations in direct comparisons. One expected benefit of the RUTF-P is
Several studies have shown the beneficial effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids on inflammatory processes, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular diseases, there are no reports about food intake and PUFA supplementation in chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy patients. Thus, the objective of this study is to
The proposed study will be undertaken according to a double-blind randomized placebo controlled cross-over design with 3 treatment phases: 1- high DHA, 2- High EPA, 3- Control. Each treatment phase will last 10 weeks and will be separated by 8-week washouts. Participants will be randomized to one of
1.Rationale and Specific Aims
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second most frequent cause of cancer related mortality in the United States. Animal and human studies have suggested that the marine-derived n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), eicosapentanoic acid
A well balanced supply of polyunsaturated fatty acids, in particular the omega-3 long chain docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in early childhood is essential for children's cognitive and visual development. DHA can either be supplied preformed in the diet (e.g. via fatty fish) or synthesised by conversion
Results of epidemiologic studies and clinical trials indicate that moderate doses of n-3 unsaturated fatty acids reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease(CVD) and may improve prognosis. N-3 fatty acids have several beneficial cardiovascular properties (1-3), including antiatherothrombotic,
A total number of 114 toddlers at 12 months ± 2 weeks of age will be recruited and randomized to two groups (placebo or LCP-supplemented). Cognition, visual function, anthropometric, immunologic and biochemical status, and health will be assessed upon entry to evaluate equality between study
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is abbreviated as COPD and includes both emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD is currently the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Unlike most major medical diseases, the morbidity and mortality from COPD continue to rise in the US. In 2000,
Because of rapid growth in the first year of life, infants are at a high risk to develop iron deficiency (ID) or even iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). Iron metabolism in infancy seems to be immature and to be affected by developmental changes and is not yet fully understood. Therefore studies with
