Summary: In this study, the influence of different bird cherry extracts on the oxidative stability of a linoleic acid emulsion was investigated. The results showed that the acetone extract was the most effective in terms of oxidation stability and time degradation tests. Additionally, the addition of gallic acid did not always have a positive effect on these properties.

Summary: Nutrition plays a crucial role in cystic fibrosis (CF) due to its association with increased energy consumption, specific nutritional deficiencies, and malabsorption related to pancreatic insufficiency. The deterioration of lung function in CF patients has been linked to nutrition. However, despite the general recommendation of high energy intake, clinical deterioration remains difficult to control, suggesting the need for identifying and specifying special nutritional needs. Lipid abnormalities, particularly in essential or conditionally essential fatty acids, are commonly observed in CF patients. This article focuses on the qualitative aspects of fat metabolism, which has been neglected in dietary fat recommendations that only emphasize fat quantity. The deficiency of linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid important for membrane structure and function, has been recognized for over 60 years in CF patients. The ratio between arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, conditionally essential fatty acids in the n-6 and n-3 series respectively, is often increased. Recent discoveries regarding the connection between CFTR modulators and lipid metabolism have generated new interest in this field, and advancements in technology provide opportunities for more personalized therapy.

Summary: In this study, a stable oil-in-water emulsion was used to protect conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) due to its poor solubility and high oxidation sensitivity. Glycosylated whey protein isolate (GWPI) made from whey protein isolate (WPI) and galactose was utilized to produce CLA emulsion, resulting in improved physicochemical stabilities and gastrointestinal behaviors. The findings suggest that GWPI serves as an effective delivery system for protecting CLA and enhancing its physiological functions.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of feeding lambs with different levels of Acacia mearnsii leaf-meal (AMLM) on meat quality parameters, including fatty acid composition, color, antioxidant activity, myoglobin and lipid oxidation, protein oxidation, and instrumental tenderness. The results showed that dietary addition of AMLM improved the fatty acid composition, tenderness, and shelf-life of lamb meat.

Summary: This study synthesized novel tannin-functionalized polypropylene copolymers to inhibit the oxidation of vegetable oils for potential use as packaging materials. The results showed that the tannic acid grafted polypropylene copolymers retarded oligomerization of linseed oil, making them a promising packaging material for vegetable oils.

Summary: Bifidobacterium breve strains exhibit different abilities in CLA production, but show similar adaptive modes to linoleic acid stress. B. breve CCFM1025 shows more active pathways in amino acid, carbohydrate, and fatty acid metabolisms, along with higher levels of antioxidant compounds, potentially providing primary protection.

Summary: Polyunsaturated fatty acids have a role in counteracting cardiovascular diseases by regulating antioxidant potential and inflammatory reactions. It is still unclear whether other fatty acids and Vitamin C intake affect these processes. This study found that fatty acid intake and Vitamin C intake may influence antioxidant potential and salivary C-reactive protein levels.

Summary: Ufasomes are nanocarriers made up of unsaturated fatty acids that enhance the bioavailability of these acids and are suitable for delivering oleuropein to improve its antioxidant activity. In addition, studies have shown that Ufasomes exhibit good stability and can be effectively internalized by cells in vitro.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of maternal intake of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the fatty acid profile of maternal and fetal brain and liver, as well as the synthesis of bioactive lipid mediators N-acylethanolamines (NAEs). The results suggested that a CLA-DHA PL diet could modify fetal brain FA metabolism, increase DHEA levels, and potentially promote neurite growth and synaptogenesis, protecting the offspring from neurological disorders during the critical prenatal period.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the antioxidant mechanism of linoleic acid (LA) in muscle atrophy caused by oxidative stress. The results showed that cells treated with LA were able to recover from oxidative damage, suggesting that LA may be a candidate substance for preventing muscle atrophy.

Summary: A hydrogel delivery system made of chitosan incorporated fatty acid vesicles was developed for protective sustained release of curcumin. The hydrogel was fluidic at room temperature and could gel rapidly at 37 degrees C. The vesicles remained as nano-vesicles in the gel, effectively reducing the burst effect and enhancing the antioxidant activity.
