  4. 2. Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in serum phospholipids - relation to genetic polymorphisms, diet and allergy development in children

    Author : Malin Barman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cord serum; ELOVL; Polyunsaturated fatty acids; FADS; allergy; vitamin D;

    Abstract : Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential for human cell and tissue development. In foetus, PUFAs are supplied via placental transfer from maternal circulation. After birth, PUFAs are supplied via the diet. Long chain PUFAs (LCPUFAs) may also be synthesized from precursor fatty acids present in the diet. READ MORE

  5. 3. Regulation of Elovl and fatty acid metabolism

    Author : Annelie Brolinson; Anders Jacobsson; Jaap Keijer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fatty acid metabolism; fatty acid elongation; Physiology; Fysiologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

    Abstract : Fatty acids are important regulators in the control of mammalian energy homeostasis. They are ingested in the diet but a significant amount are also endogenously produced by de novo lipogenesis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Identification and characterisation of the novel mammalian gene family Elovl

    Author : Abolfazl Asadi; Leif Andersson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; zoofysiologi; Zoological physiology;

    Abstract : Comparative analysis is one of the foremost tools in biology. The most common comparative method is sequence alignment, which can be performed in many ways. By using any sort of alignments, competing sequences are evaluated by scoring schemes for estimating similarity. READ MORE

  7. 5. Metabolic Significance of Fatty Acid Elongation

    Author : Damir Zadravec; Anders Jacobsson; Douglas Tocher; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; Fysiologi; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : Very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), including polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), are essential lipids whose functional diversity is made possible by variation in their chain length and degree of unsaturation. Fatty acids can either be derived directly from the diet or they can be synthesized de novo through lipogenesis, up to 16 carbons in length by fatty acid synthase. READ MORE
