Association between dietary fat intake and age-related macular degeneration in the Carotenoids in Age-Related Eye Disease Study (CAREDS): an ancillary study of the Women's Health Initiative.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationships between the amount and type of dietary fat and intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD). DESIGN: Women aged 50 to 79 years with high and low lutein intake from 3 sites of the Women's Health ... Read more...

Polyunsaturated fatty acid status in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, and Alzheimer's disease: towards an omega-3 index for mental health?

29 Sep 2009 Interest in the role of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly long-chain (LC) omega-3 (n-3) PUFAs, in mental health is increasing. This review investigates whether n-3 PUFA levels are abnormal in people with three prevalent mental health ... Read more...

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...
