Summary: The study found that reducing litter size during lactation decreases liver lipogenesis de novo while increasing the synthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Additionally, insulin responsiveness is increased as a result of decreased lipolytic activity in mesenteric adipose tissue.

Summary: Interest in the potential cardiovascular benefits of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3) began in the 1940s, but there has been controversy due to conflicting results among studies and meta-analyses. Recent large, randomized trials showed discordant findings, with one using a higher dose of omega-3 showing a significant reduction in cardiovascular events. The conflicting results in clinical trials may be due to inadequate dosing of omega-3 and aggressive treatment with other effective therapies.

Summary: The supplementation of perilla cake improved pig performance, increased PUFA fatty acids, and decreased the proportion of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in pork, while not affecting carcass traits and meat quality. This alternative source of raw material can be considered for functional feed additives in livestock production.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary supplements enriched in specific fatty acids on the follicular fluid lipid composition and related fertility traits in early lactation dairy cows. The results showed that these dietary supplements had no major effects on granulosa cell metabolism and oocyte developmental capacity.

Summary: The majority of the population lack adequate omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA), leading to global deficiencies and poor omega-3 status. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of n-3 FA interventions on omega3-index (O3i) and estimate sufficient intake to meet recommendations.

Summary: Ω-3 fatty acids are recognized for their benefits on physical and mental health, primarily obtained from fish and fish products. Adequate intake of Ω-3 fatty acids can improve brain function and neuronal function, reduce depressive symptoms, and have fewer side effects compared to antidepressants.

Summary: Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids play a key role in heart-healthy diet, and can be obtained through fatty fish consumption or fish oil supplementation. They not only treat hypertriglyceridemia, but also prevent cardiovascular events, with additional benefits such as reducing inflammation and improving plaque stability.

Summary: Telomeres play a key role in protecting chromosome ends and maintaining genome stability, but they shorten with aging. Short telomeres are associated with age-related diseases, but the variability in telomere shortening suggests it is modifiable. Studies have explored the impact of omega-3 fatty acids on telomere shortening, with most indicating a beneficial effect on telomere length.

Summary: Sows in most breeding herds worldwide have larger litters than several years ago. Prolonged farrowing duration is a common problem when using these genetics, which can lead to postpartum complications in sows and higher percentage of stillborn piglets per litter. This retrospective study found that the factors associated with farrowing duration in sows kept in a free farrowing system in a tropical environment include high litter size, high parity number, parturition during working hours, and high temperature and humidity before parturition.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effects of different sources of m-3 PUFAs on glucolipid metabolism and lipoprotein subfractions in T2DM patients with dyslipidemia. The results showed that plant-derived m-3 PUFAs were more effective at controlling blood glucose levels, while animal-derived m-3 PUFAs were more effective at lowering triglyceride levels. Moreover, intake of animal-derived m-3 PUFAs led to higher levels of large HDL-C subfractions and lower levels of small HDL-C subfractions compared to plant-derived m-3 PUFAs. Both animal and plant-derived m-3 PUFAs have practical value in improving glucose and lipids metabolism in T2DM patients with dyslipidemia.

Summary: This study found that factors such as high education levels, older age, consumption of fish and seafood, and non-smoking are significantly associated with serum fatty acid concentrations in pregnant women, leading to a better omega-3 fatty acid profile. Further research is needed to explore the health consequences of these findings.

Summary: This meta-analysis evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) sources on the formation of n-3 PUFA contents in eggs, and identified predictors for DHA formation. The study confirmed that ALA, n-3 PUFA, and the ratio of LA/ALA can be used as predictors for the formation of n-3 fatty acids in eggs. Fish oil showed the highest prediction model for DHA formation.

Summary: This paper reviews the sustainability and supply chain of omega-3 fatty acids production from microalgae. It highlights the importance of microalgal bioprospecting, engineering approaches, and environmental influence in achieving sustainable production. Additionally, the strategy to promote consumer acceptance of algae-based products is crucial for substituting current sources of omega-3 fatty acids.

Summary: Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) in overweight and obese women and their children can lead to adverse pregnancy, birth, and long-term health outcomes. Current interventions focused on reducing excessive GWG through changes in maternal diet and lifestyle have shown limited clinically relevant effects. Instead, researchers should focus on interventions prior to pregnancy to optimize maternal health and weight, which can improve the outcomes associated with obesity during pregnancy, birth, and long term.
