linoleic acid/inflammation

Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Omega-3) are long poly unsaturated fatty acids that can be found in plants and fish, its refer to a group composed of three type of fatty acids called: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) . The health promoting effect of n-3FA

The term "mucositis" was introduced to describe inflammation of the oral mucosa induced by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. At present, oral mucositis is considered to be the most serious non-hematological complication of cancer treatment. Numerous predisposing factors

Bipolar Disorder is a chronic disabling psychiatric disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of mania or hypomania and depression. Bipolar Disorder can be separated into bipolar I and bipolar II disorders with bipolar I disorder characterizing individuals who have episodes of mania and

Long Chain-Polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) are needed to support normal physiological functions: Unlike saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, synthesis of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5 omega-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 omega-3) from its omega-3 PUFA precursor,

Lean and overweight subjects (Body mass index: BMI >20kg/m2 <32kg/m2 ) with CC and TT genotypes of FADS1 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) from the METabolic Syndrome in Men (METSIM) study, in which currently >10000 men are included from the population living in Kuopio, will be recruited. Seventy

The study consists of a diet-intervention in a single group under-free-living conditions. The diet was enriched with 15g of almonds and 15g of walnuts per day for eight weeks, supplied directly to the patient by the researcher. This amounts of walnuts and almonds contain polyunsaturated fatty acids

CIPN is a common side effect of many chemotherapeutic agents and often results in dose limitation, switch to less efficacious agents or even therapy discontinuation. CIPN mainly affects sensory nerves, while motor or autonomic nerve injury is rare. Therefore, most patients with CIPN experience

There is growing evidence that diets high in long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) decrease the risk of fatal ischemic heart disease.Both epidemiologic studies and clinical trials demonstrate substantial cardioprotective effects of alpha linolenic acid (ALA) from vegetable oils.However,

Participants will be provided (weekly) with food items containing most of (>90%) the daily dietary fat (25-30% of daily calories) to be consumed. All study-supplied foods will be prepared by or acquired by the Wake Forest University Health Sciences (WFUHS) Clinical Research Unit (CRU) Metabolic

Lean and overweight subjects (BMI >20kg/m2 <29kg/m2 ) with CC and TT genotypes of FADS1 polymorphism (rs174547) were recruited from the METSIM study (METabolic Syndrome in Men, currently >10000 men included from the population living in Kuopio). The potential participants were asked to contact study

Over-consumption high sugar and high fat foods was identified as a main risk factor for obesity. The recent identification of lipid-receptor (CD36, GPR120) in human taste buds suggests that lipids could be perceived not only by their texture and their olfactory characteristics, but also by way of

This is a pilot clinical trial of omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids carried out in SLE patients followed at the Rheumatology Unit of Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, UFMG. Female patients who met the revised American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria

Rationale: Fish oil (FO), rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, exerts a range of anti-inflammatory actions that render it a potential therapeutic agent to treat Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the bowel. Recent evidence suggests that a lack of effect in

Eczema is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by itchy red rashes commonly found in the elbows or behind the knees. Eczema lesions may appear as collection of fluid in the skin (vesicles) or as gross thickening of the skin (lichenification) with redness. It is also associated with crusting,

Obesity is an asthma comorbidity associated with increased severity, poor control, reduced steroid responsiveness and greater exacerbation and healthcare utilization rates. These associations are not explained by having a greater degree of Th-2 inflammation. Rather, the obese asthma phenotype
