Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleTwo Co-Expression Strategies for Eicosapentaenoic Acid Production in Mortierella alpinaXin Tang, Haiqin Chen, Xiaoke Zhang et al.The omega-3 long-chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFA) Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) has beneficial effects on human health, leading to its use in health products and foods. The oleaginous microorganism Mortierella alpina has been used in the industrial production of Arachidonic Acid (AA). The omega-3 desaturase oPpFADS17 is a key enzyme in the bioconversion of AA to EPA from Phytophthora parasitica and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2019 · 7,482 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPlasma Fatty Acid Profile of Gestating Ewes Supplemented with FishmealMamun M. Or-Rashid, Rebecca Fisher, Niel Karrow et al.Problem statement: The very long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (>18C) cannot be adequately synthesized by ruminant tissues to meet their requirements; therefore, their concentration in body depends on the supply through feed. It may be possible to improve the essential fatty acid status of ruminant animals, during gestation by manipulating the maternal diet with Fishmeal (FM). The objectives of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,223 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Omega-3 Fatty Acids Content in Commercial Omega-3 Supplements in Arab Gulf CountriesFatmah Alghamdi, Mohammed G. Embaby, Mevlüt Günal, Amer A. AbuGhazalehThe objective of this study was to analyze and compare the eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5n3; EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6n3; DHA) content of omega-3 supplements sold in Arab Gulf Countries with the contents claimed on the product label. Thirty-one commercial supplements purchased from stores in 3 different countries (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain) had their fatty acid composition and content were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 14 Dec 2020 · 7,297 accessesView PDF Cite
