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

Docosahexaenoic acid ethyl ester (DHA-Et) was purified by adsorption on Ag-ion-immobilized membranes via selective interaction between silver ion and carbon-carbon double bonds of DHA-Et. Silver ions were immobilized onto sulfonic-acid-group-containing porous hollow-fiber membranes at an Ag ion density of 1.4

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

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
