Dairy fat and its fatty acids (FAs) have been shown to possess pro-health properties that can
support health maintenance and disease prevention. In particular, branched-chain FAs …

This review focuses on the metabolism of n-3 fatty acids and attempts to review the current
understanding of how the n-3 fatty acid content of neuronal membranes is regulated …

Fatty acid synthase (FASN) predominantly generates straight-chain fatty acids using acetyl-
CoA as the initiating substrate. However, monomethyl branched-chain fatty acids …

Methods currently in use for the quantitative measurement of fatty acids by gas-liquid
chromatography after transesterification are usually lengthy and cumbersome. The …

There is little doubt regarding the essential nature of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), yet the
capacity of dietary ALA to maintain adequate tissue levels of long chain n− 3 fatty acids …

Concentrations of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA, 22: 6n− 3) and arachidonic acid (AA, 20: 4n− 6) in human breast milk are …

Breast-fed infants score better on visual and developmental tests than do formula-fed infants
and this has been related to higher concentrations of erythrocyte docosahexaenoic acid …

Although human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) have emerged
as a novel platform for heart regeneration, disease modeling, and drug screening, their …

I have reviewed recent (March 1995–December 1997) papers on human milk lipids
including many on fatty acid (FA) composition. The effects of maternal diets on the profiles …

Background: Mothers selectively transfer docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to their fetuses to
support optimal neurological development during pregnancy. Without sufficient dietary …
