Title: Construction of FATTY ACID DESATURASE 2 (FAD2) gene knockouts using RNAi novel technique in the model plant Thlaspi arvense. Abstract: FATTY ACID DESATURASE 2 and FATTYU ACID ELONGASE 1 (FAE1) are the two genes of interest present in the plant pennycress. FAD2 is in the pathway that synthesizes the polyunsaturated linoleic (18:2) and linoleic (18:3) fatty acids from the monounsaturated oleic acid (18:1). Polyunsaturated fatty acids are undesirable in biodiesel because they confer…

The authors of this study hypothesized that administering C75 would inhibit lipogenesis and decrease the amount of inflammation and organ injury in sepsis. This study quantified the amount of fatty acid by measuring palmitic acid. Inflammation was measured by levels of cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 while organ injury was measured by markers alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). If C75 inhibits lipogenesis and shows decreased FFA levels…

1. Introduction Plants are crucial to the health and wellness of humanity. Over thousands of years, in an attempt to establish themselves within a single region, early humans began to use cultivation techniques, which is now called agriculture. It was with the advent of farming - when men realized that planting seeds resulted in germination - that societies began to develop more than 12,000 years ago. Communities then started to grow plants to feed them, and over the years, they developed a…

nutrients, unless specifically required by the Regulations. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are not required to be declared, but when shown, triggers the three declarations previously mentioned. The amount of omega-6, omega-3 and monounsaturated fatty acids must all be declared when the amount of any one of these, either on the label or in any advertisement, is declared. The amount of any specifically named fatty acid (e.g. linoleic acid), whether on the label outside the Nutrition Facts table or in…

OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS 1) Structure Figure 1.1 The omega-3 fatty acids are also known as ω-3 fatty acids or n-3 fatty acids which contain a long chain of polyunsaturated fatty acids and the chain ranges from 18 to 22 carbon atoms (Collins J.J., 2010). The fatty acids have two ends; the carboxylic acid end (-COOH) and the methyl end (-CH3). The carboxylic acid end is considered the starting of chain which is “alpha” and methyl chain is considered as the tail of the long chain…

includes a omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid claims. The declaration of additional information is optional in Canada in general. If the regulations require the declaration of one nutrient, the declaration of other nutrients may not necessarily be required, unless the regulations have some special requirement. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are required to be declared when shown and triggers the three declarations. The amount of omega-6, omega-3 and monounsaturated fatty acids are all…

Omega 6 The Importance of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids If you are a health-conscious person, you are already aware of the wide range of benefits that you get from consuming the polyunsaturated fatty acids or PUFAs as they are called namely Omega 3 and Omega 6. Fatty acids are the main components responsible for the building of lipid molecules in the body. They form an essential part of the cell membranes and hormones and enrich the cells with energy. The Most Important PUFAs Omega 3 and 6 fats…

ways. Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) is a short-chain ɳ-3 fatty acid molecule composed of eighteen carbon atoms and three double bond hinges. ALA is the most abundant form of ɳ-3 fatty acids and is found in plants, including salad greens, and in seeds, such as flax and canola (Sears 24). Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) is made up of twenty carbon atoms and five double bonds and is also mainly found in seafood. Finally, the last and longest form of ɳ-3 fatty acid, Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) has…

Omega-3 Omega-3 - what is it? Omega-3 is a so-called essential fatty acid - an essential fat that our body can not produce itself. Omega-3 is an important building block in all of our cells, so it is important that we eat food that provides us with sufficient quantities. Omega-3 should be in balance with omega-6, another essential fatty acid. The balance has shifted radically since the omega-3 in our diet decreased while the amount of omega-6 in food increased dramatically. We eat too little…
