Maximized PUFA measurements improve insight in changes in fatty acid composition in response to temperature.

29 Sep 2009 A general mechanism underlying the response of ectotherms to environmental changes often involves changes in fatty acid composition. Theory predicts that a decrease in temperature causes an increase in unsaturation of fatty acids, with an important ... Read more...

Plant oxylipins: plant responses to 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid are governed by its specific structural and functional properties.

Aug 2009 One of the most challenging questions in modern plant science is how plants regulate their morphological and developmental adaptation in response to changes in their biotic and abiotic environment. A comprehensive elucidation of the underlying ... Read more...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids and cardiovascular disease.

8 Jul 2009 Replacing saturated with polyunsaturated (PUFAs) rather than monounsaturated fatty acids or carbohydrates results in cardiovascular prevention over a wide range of intakes. The mechanisms by which PUFAs reduce cardiovascular risk are manifold, and ... Read more...
