The application of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) as food additives is restricted by their chemically quite reactive properties. However, quantitative analyses of the oxidative kinetics of PUFAs are very few compared to other studies on food chemistry. In this

Superoxide and hydroxyl radicals are implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease, and induction of lipid peroxidation is an important factor in progression of this disease. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a key component of the cell membrane, and its peroxidation

Bioactivities of Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) depend on their chemical forms. The present study was to investigate short term effects of triglyceride (TG), ethyl ester (EE), free fatty acid (FFA) and phospholipid (PL) forms of omega-3 fatty

Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) are involved in the regulation of bone metabolism. Increased dietary consumption of n-3, and possibly some n-6, LCPUFAs may limit postmenopausal bone loss. The aim of this study was to determine the effects on

Ethyl 4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoate (DHA-Et) dissolved in an ethanol solution or embedded in liposomes was degraded by irradiating with gamma rays in a dose-dependent manner. The degradation rate of DHA-Et embedded in liposomes was higher than that of DHA-Et dissolved in ethanol.
