Marine Macroalgae as Sources of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
Algae from cold water (Canada) and warm water (China) were analysed for the total lipid content, and for their fatty acid (FA) composition and content. The major findings are that fatty acids (FA) from Canadia...

Virgin Olive Oil Study (VOLOS): vasoprotective potential of extra virgin olive oil in mildly dyslipidemic patients
In vitro, olive phenols exert potent antioxidant and enzyme-modulating activities.

Protective activity of tomato products on in vivo markers of lipid oxidation
It has been suggested that regular consumption of tomato products improves antioxidant defenses due to their endogenous antioxidant compounds, notably lycopene.

Pharmacological modulation of fatty acid desaturation and of cholesterol biosynthesis in THP-1 cells
In THP-1 cells, simvastatin decreases, in a concentration-dependent manner, cholesterol synthesis and increases linoleic acid (LA) conversion to its long-chain derivatives, in particular to arachidonic acid, a...

Evidence for the unique function of docosahexaenoic acid during the evolution of the modern hominid brain
The African savanna ecosystem of the large mammals and primates was associated with a dramatic decline in relative brain capacity associated with little docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is required for brain ...

Blood pressure, serum lipids, and fatty acids in populations on a lake-fish diet or on a vegetarian diet in Tanzania
Major risk factors for coronary heart disease were assessed in two populations of Tanzania, one on a fish diet (FD) living along the coast of Lake Nyasa, and the other, mainly on a vegetarian diet (VD), living...

Oral polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine reduces platelet lipid and cholesterol contents in healthy volunteers
The effects of orally administered polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PPC) on plasma lipids, lipoproteins and platelet function and composition were studied in seven healthy male volunteers. PPC (Nattermann ...

Heated fat, vitamin E and vascular eicosanoids
A semisynthetic diet containing adequate amounts of vitamin E and 10% (w/w) of a mixture of polyunsaturated oils subjected to heating and characterized by elevated indexes of thermal alteration (polar componen...

Differential effects of dietary fatty acids on the accumulation of arachidonic acid and its metabolic conversion through the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase in platelets and vascular tissue
Semisynthetic diets containing either corn oil (CO) or butter (B) (11 and 2.2 en % as linoleic acid, respectively) were fed to male rabbits for periods of 3 weeks and 3 months. The CO diet, in respect to the B...

Effects of rapeseed oil on fatty acid oxidation and lipid levels in rat heart and liver
The comparative rates of oxidation of erucic and oleic acids and of their CoA esters were studied in heart and liver mitochondria of rats fed a standard diet or semisynthetic diets containing 25% of the calori...

Brain free fatty acid levels in rats sacrificed by decapitation versus focused microwave irradiation
Values are presented for whole brain free fatty acid levels of rats sacrificed by decapitation vs focused microwave irradiation. Free fatty acids were quantitated by specific colorimetric analysis. Within ca. ...

Essential fatty acids in maternal diet and in rat milk phospholipids
The administrations of semisynthetic diets supplemented with oils and fats containing different levels of linoleic acids to lactating rats result in corresponding changes in the polyunsaturated fatty acids of ...

Lipid alterations and their reversion in the central nervous system of growing rats deficient in essential fatty acids
Essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency modifies several biological parameters, i.e., growth, metabolic rate and water balance and induces functional changes in liver, kidney and lung tissues. The brain fatty ac...
