A perfusion-cell bleeding culture strategy was developed for enhancing the productivity of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) by the diatom Nitzschia laevis. As the strategy combined the concepts of continuous culture and perfusion culture, it allowed continuously and simultaneously harvesting the algal
BACKGROUND
Cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and recent studies indicate that Rho-kinase plays an important role in the occurrence of such cerebral vasospasm. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid,
OBJECTIVE
Rho-kinase (ROK)-mediated Ca2+ sensitization of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) contraction plays a pivotal role in cerebral vasospasm (CV). We previously demonstrated that sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) induces Ca2+ sensitization through sequential activation of the Src family protein
N-3 fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), prevent ischemic stroke. The preventive effect has been attributed to an antithrombic effect induced by elevated EPA and reduced arachidonic acid (AA) levels. However, the relationship between intracranial hemorrhage and N-3 fatty acids has not
The influence of a diet supplemented with MaxEPA (a fish oil concentrate, rich in eicosapentaenoic acid = EPA) on bleeding time in small mesenteric arteries of the rat and on formation of thromboxane B2 (TXB2) by ADP-stimulated platelets was investigated. Since EPA has been found to antagonize
The effect of a diet rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on platelet phospholipid fatty acid composition, platelet aggregation, and bleeding time was studied in 10 healthy men, whose usual diet was partly replaced by fish for 11 weeks. This diet provided 2-3 g EPA per day. Two doses (3.5 and 10
Female weanling rats in three equal groups (n 12) were given orally by intubation 1 ml micellar solution of taurocholic acid (10 mM) and either arachidonic acid (20:4 n-6), linoleic acid (18:2 n-6) or eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 n-3) at a concentration of 120 mM. After 1 h the rats were given
Mesenteric bleeding time, mesenteric vascular reactivity, platelet and erythrocyte lipid fatty acid composition were measured at 2-3 weeks, 5-6 weeks and 11-22 weeks in normotensive Wistar rats, fed on high (6.5% energy) or moderate (1.6% energy) intakes of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3; EPA) as
Platelet aggregation, bleeding time, prostaglandin biosynthesis and plasma cholesterol fatty acids were investigated in 12 healthy females (25-32 years), who were given different amounts of linolenic acid (0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16% of total energy intake) or eicosapentaenoic acid (1.7%) with formula
Intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been suggested to associate with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke. The present study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that EPA and DHA increase oxidative stress and
The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and aspirin both have proof of concept for colorectal cancer (CRC) chemoprevention, aligned with an excellent safety profile.The objectives were to determine whether or not EPA prevents
