FLESHY fruits have been divided into two classes on the basis of their respiratory behaviour
during ripening: climacteric fruit, such as bananas, which undergo a large increase in …

The effect of dietary eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5(n − 3), as the ethyl ester) on plasma
lipid levels and the incorporation of EPA into erythrocyte and plasma lipids were investigated …

1. The fatty acid composition of mitochondrial membranes from sheep and rats was altered
by feeding these animals diets which were rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Changes in …

1 The acute effects of n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were determined on whole‐cell sodium
currents recorded in isolated adult rat ventricular myocytes using patch clamp techniques. …

Grease trap waste has been considered as a cost-effective feedstock for biodiesel production
due to its high lipid content and relatively low cost for collection. However, the costly pre-…

The long-chain (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been reported to exhibit health
benefits and healing properties for the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to …

The n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) found in fish oil (FO) have been shown to protect
against reperfusion arrhythmias, a manifestation of reperfusion injury, which is believed to …

Signal transduction by G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) underpins a multitude of
physiological processes. Ligand recognition by the receptor leads to activation of a …

In recent years, climate changes occurring worldwide have encouraged research into the
development of eco-friendly, lower-environmental-impact, and more-sustainable energy …

Healthy normotensive volunteers aged 20 to 59 yr were randomly allocated either to a control
group or to one of two experimental groups. The control group ate a low P/S ratio diet for …
