    Production of eicosapentaenoic acid by a recombinant marine cyanobacterium, Synechococcus sp.

    The eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) synthesis gene cluster from an EPA-producing bacterium, Shewanella sp. SCRC-2738, was cloned into a broad-host range vector, pJRD215, and then introduced into a marine cyanobacteri...

    Effects of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid on plasma membrane fluidity of aortic endothelial cells

    We investigated the relative effects of n−3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20∶5n−3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22∶6n−3) on the plasma membrane fluidity of endothelial cells (EC) cultured from the thoracic aor...

    Administration of docosahexaenoic acid influences behavior and plasma catecholamine levels at times of psychological stress

    The purpose of the present research was to clarify the effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intake on behavior and plasma catecholamines (CA). In Study 1, 42 students took either DHA-rich oil capsules containi...

    Docosahexaenoic acid does not affect aggression of normal volunteers under nonstressful conditions. A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study

    We previously found that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intake prevents aggression enhancement at times of mental stress. In the present study we investigated changes in aggression under nonstressful conditions. F...

    Lipid and fatty acid compositions of a novel docosahexaenoic acid-producing marine bacterium

    An unidentified bacterial strain, SCRC-21406, isolated from the intestine of a marine fish, Glossanodon semifasciatus, produced docosahexaenoic acid at 23% (mol/mol) [=28% (w/w)] of total fatty acids in a medium ...

    Production of eicosapentaenoic acid from marine bacteria

    A marine bacterium, judged as a new species close toShewanella putrefaciens, was isolated from the intestinal contents of the Pacific mackerel. The isolated strain SCRC-2378 produced eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) a...
