...Stewart Forsyth; Philip C. Calder; Francis Zotor; Paul Amuna; Barbara Meyer; Bruce Holub Background: A wealth of information on the functional roles of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) from cellular, animal, and human studies is available. Yet, there remains a lack of cohesion...

... Eicosapentaenoic acid Arachidonic acid Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited systemic disease leading to reduced life quality and shortened life expectancy due to severe complications among which 2 are of prime importance: chronic bronchopulmonary disease and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency [ 1,2...

...Stewart Forsyth; Sheila Gautier; Norman Salem Jr. Background: In developing countries, dietary intakes of arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in early life are lower than current recommended levels. This review specifically focusses on the contribution that complementary feeding...

...Stewart Forsyth; Sheila Gautier; Norman Salem Jr. Background/Aims: There are only few data on dietary arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intake in infants from developing countries, and current global recommendations on intake during early life may not reflect the needs...

...Stewart Forsyth; Sheila Gautier; Norman Salem Jr. Background/Aim: For international recommendations on docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) dietary intake to be valid, there needs to be a greater understanding of dietary patterns across both the developed and developing world...

...Tomohiro Kitamura; Yohei Kitamura; Hirokazu Hamano; Hiromichi Shoji; Takashi Shimizu; Toshiaki Shimizu Objective: The arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contents in the infant formula influence on the growth and development of low-birth-weight infants (LBWI). In Japan, many...

... formula for term infants should contain DHA and arachidonic acid (AA) to provide 100 mg DHA/day and 140 mg AA/day. A supply of 100 mg DHA/day should continue during the second half of infancy. We do not provide quantitative advice on AA levels in follow-on formula fed after the introduction...

... evaluated 51 publications, dated from 1975 to 2011. Meta-analysis showed significantly lower values of both arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in total plasma lipids (32 and 33 studies) and in plasma phospholipids (PL; 21 and 23 studies) in men than in women. Primary analysis...

... shows an influence of serum HDL concentrations on the process of phagocytosis in the isolated cells and suggests that the concentration of arachidonic acid in blood is a factor that determines the phagocytic ability of monocytes. Moreover, the concentration of conjugated linoleic acid trans -10 cis -12...

... in the tissues was compared 5 min, 1 h and 18 h after the application using whole-body autoradiography. The highest levels of labelling with all fatty acids were observed in the liver, brown fat and adrenal cortex. Specific for arachidonic acid was a high and consistent concentration of radioactivity...

... compared to controls, palmitic and oleic acids were decreased but stearic acid and docosahexaenoic acid were increased in plasma, liver and heart phopholipids. Arachidonic acid was also increased in plasma and liver phospholipids in low copper rats. In liver triglycerides, linoleic and arachidonic acids...

...Bill Fragiskos; Alvin C. Chan; Patrick C. Choy When perfused with exogenous arachidonic acid (AA) or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), the rat heart incorporated these fatty acids into phospholipids, chiefly as phosphatidylcholine. The pattern of fatty acid incorporation at any given concentration...

... male rats for 10 weeks. The ratio of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid to arachidonic acid in phospholipids of plasma, liver, and testes was increased in vitamin-E-supplemented rats. Serum thromboxane B 2 was increased in vitamin-E-deficient rats. The data support a role for vitamin E in affecting both...

.... Arachidonic acid was decreased only in triacylglycerol fractions. The results suggest that in the hamster long-term voluntary ethanol intake alters specific long chain fatty acids, but that erythrocyte membrane integrity and tissue lipid composition were not compromised. 25 01 1986 29 08 1986 19...
