Neuroinflammation and traumatic brain injury involve activation of inflammatory cells and production of local pro-inflammatory mediators that can amplify tissue damage. Using LC-UV-MS-MS-based lipidomics in tandem with functional screening at the single-cell level in microfluidic chambers, we identified a series

This paper presents the positional distribution of fatty acids in triacyl-sn-glycerols (TAG) of Artemia nauplii used in aquaculture as a live food for marine fish larvae. The nauplii were enriched with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ethyl ester (EE) in the form

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.
