  • More importantly, this finding shattered a dogma of the time that held that fatty acids played only structural roles in cells, thus opening the way for discovery of the many other important bioactive fatty acid-derived products. (jci.org)
  • Previous studies have found that fish, which is rich in protein and heart-healthy fatty acids, reduces the risk of dying from heart disease. (harvard.edu)
  • moreover, these effects were mediated by the lipoxygenase (LOX) and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) EPA/DHA metabolites, 5-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (HEPE), 4-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (HDHA), 18-HEPE, 20-HDHA, 17(18)-epoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (EpETE) and 19(20)-epoxydocosapentaenoic acid (EpDPA), detected here for the first time in human hippocampal neurones using mass spectrometry lipidomics of the supernatant.

  • Moreover, co-treatment with 17(18)-EpETE and 19(20)-EpDPA and the soluble epoxide hydroxylase (sEH) inhibitor, TPPU (which prevents their conversion into dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (DiHETE)/ dihydroxydocosapentaenoic acid (DiHDPA) metabolites) further enhanced their neurogenic and anti-apoptotic effects.

  • 6] recovered numerous trans- and cis2 20 and 22 carbon length fatty acids from abomasally cannulated cows that had received a diet supplemented with fish oil. (scirp.org)
  • It is a carboxylic acid with an 18-carbon chain and three cis double bonds . (wikipedia.org)
  • The first double bond is located at the third carbon from the methyl end of the fatty acid chain, known as the n end. (wikipedia.org)
  • Indeed, evidence obtained with isotopically labeled 20-carbon fatty acids incubated with sheep vesicular glands, an abundant source of PGs, confirmed this assumption. (jci.org)
  • Of the other blood fatty acids measured-eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA)-DPA was most strongly associated with lower risk of stroke death, and EPA most strongly linked with lower risk of nonfatal heart attack. (harvard.edu)
  • The analysis of red blood cell (RBC) fatty acids (FA) is an indicator of long term (4 months) FA status. (cdc.gov)
