Journal ArticleDOI

Alpha-linolenic acid and its conversion to longer chain n-3 fatty acids: benefits for human health and a role in maintaining tissue n-3 fatty acid levels.

TL;DR: It is proposed, based upon previous work and that of others, that ALA is elongated and desaturated in a tissue-dependent manner and its dietary inclusion is critical for maintaining tissue long chain n-3 levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial Lipid Abnormality and Electron Transport Chain Impairment in Mice Lacking α-Synuclein

TL;DR: Altered membrane composition and structure and impaired complex I/III function in Snca −/− brain suggest a relationship between α-synuclein's role in brain lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flaxseed oil and fish-oil capsule consumption alters human red blood cell n-3 fatty acid composition : a multiple-dosing trial comparing 2 sources of n-3 fatty acid

TL;DR: The consumption of ALA-enriched supplements for 12 wk was sufficient to elevate erythrocyte EPA and docosapentaenoic acid content, which shows the effectiveness of AlA conversion and accretion into ery Throcytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-fat diet-induced juvenile obesity leads to cardiomyocyte dysfunction and upregulation of Foxo3a transcription factor independent of lipotoxicity and apoptosis.

TL;DR: The data show that high-fat diet-induced obesity resulted in impaired cardiomyocyte function, upregulated Foxo3a transcription factor and mitochondrial damage without overt lipotoxicity or apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advances in membrane cholesterol domain dynamics and intracellular cholesterol trafficking

TL;DR: Based on the fundamental observation that cholesterol is not distributed uniformly in the cell, three key concepts have contributed to recent advances in this field: First, cholesterol is asymmetrically distributed across the cell surface plasma membrane, wherein it translocates rapidly.
