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

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

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

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.
