Abstract Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6) is an n− 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n− 3
PUFA) that influences immunological, metabolic, and neurological responses through …

What distinguishes polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from less unsaturated fatty acids is
the presence of a repeating CH–CH2–CH unit that produces an extremely flexible structure …

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA), enriched in fish oils, are increasingly
recognized to have potential benefits for treating many human afflictions. Despite the …

Docosahexaenoic acid is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid that relieves the symptoms
of a wide variety of chronic inflammatory disorders. The structural mechanism is not yet …

We investigated the influence of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the fatty acid and protein
compositions of two populations of membrane rafts present in Caco-2 cells. DHA (100μM) …

We have previously suggested that the ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA) may in part function by enhancing membrane lipid phase separation into lipid …

The plasma membrane (PM) serves as the functional interface between a cell and its
environment, hosting extracellular signal transduction and nutrient transport among a variety …

Solid-state 2 H-NMR of [2 H 31]-N-palmitoylsphingomyelin ([2 H 31] 16: 0SM, PSM*),
supplemented by differential scanning calorimetry, was used for the first time, to our …

An emerging molecular mechanism by which docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) exerts its effects
is modification of lipid raft organization. The biophysical model, based on studies with …

Numerous health benefits are associated with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3
PUFA) consumed in fish oils. An understanding of the mechanism remains elusive. The …
