During the recent decades, awareness towards the role of essential fatty acids in human health and disease prevention has been unremittingly increasing among people. Fish, fish oils and some vegetable oils are rich sources of essential fatty acids. Many studies have positively correlated essential fatt...
Vagner M, Lacoue-Labarthe T, Zambonino Infante J-L, Mazurais D, Dubillot E, Le Delliou H, Quazuguel P, Lefrancois C (2015) Depletion of essential fatty acids in the food source affects aerobic capacities of the golden grey mullet Liza aurata in a warming seawater context. PLoS ONE ...

They are not only the important energy sources, but also the constituents of the human body, and supporting a variety of cellular functions. They can also provide human with essential fatty acids, as well as bioactive micronutrients, including the fat-soluble vitamins and polyphenol compounds. ...
A food supplement containing essential fatty acids and products therefromThis invention describes feed supplement, and processes which increase the amount of essential fatty acids in the milk, eggs, meat and other by-products from animals including dairy cattle, beef cattle, goats and poultry. The ...
One clear change in the diet of the population in developed countries has been the replacement of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids by saturated fats and trans-fats as well as by omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential fatty acids, and the members...
DHA, however, is the most abundant n−3 fatty acid present in tissues, which has led to the conclusion that DHA is an essential n−3 fatty acid. Because of the multiple, unique metabolic functions of DHA, which are not replicated by other fatty acids, a prevailing view is that this...
In this study, levels and sources of omega-3 fatty acids (FA) available for consumption in the US food supply, dating from 1935, are estimated. omega-3 FA assessed are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and linolenic acid (LNA). Estimates are based on annual per cap...
The level of accumulation of storage lipids in the fish body and the content of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic) served as criteria of food supply. It is shown that the average annual content of sprat total lipids varies over a wide range (4.5–9.5% ...
Furthermore, many species are complete amino acid sources, containing adequate amounts of essential amino acids which humans cannot synthesise and need to acquire from diet53. In addition, many microbes have a high content of essential amino acids that are lacking in plants54. Fibres, resistant ...
