Summary: This study analyzed the molecular species of TAG in human milk fat and its changes during lactation using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. The results showed that the changes in TAG mainly occurred in the early stages of lactation, and the TAG profile became stable after 200 days of lactation. Odd chain fatty acids may be important markers for identifying different lactation stages.

Summary: The study found significant differences in human milk fatty acid compositions among different Asian countries, with Pakistani breast milk having high saturated fat content and low unsaturated fatty acids, indicating the need for DHA supplementation in infants. Additionally, the average DHA: ARA ratio in Asian human milk was 1.01.

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: A systematic review was conducted to study the effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplements on breast cancer prevention and treatment. Out of 679 articles, only 27 were included and examined based on various factors such as induction type, experimental design, fatty acid composition, and analysis of outcomes. The findings suggest that omega-3 PUFA supplementation, particularly in combination with antitumor drugs, can have positive effects on tumor growth and metastases. However, the effectiveness of omega-3 PUFA supplementation without antitumor agents remains uncertain.

Summary: This study aims to estimate the amount of n-3 LC-PUFA provided by commonly consumed fishes, shrimps, and mollusks, to conduct a risk-benefit analysis of fish consumption. Consuming 2-3 servings of a variety of fishery products per week can help meet recommended n-3 LC-PUFA levels while maintaining a balance to avoid potential risks from contaminants.

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: In addition to proven medications, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) are considered to have additive effects on cardiovascular health. They influence the cardiovascular system through various mechanisms, including effects on metabolism, inflammation, thrombosis, and direct effects on cells.

Summary: Omega-3 fatty acids reduce cardiovascular mortality and improve cardiovascular outcomes, with higher efficacy observed with EPA monotherapy compared to EPA+DHA combination therapy.

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: This study assessed the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on alleviating inflammation and lung injury induced by PM2.5 inhalation exposure. It was found that oral administration of DHA and EPA effectively restored normal inflammatory cytokine levels and reduced lung parenchymal lesions in mice exposed to PM2.5.

Summary: The study examined the impact of perinatal psychosocial stress on breast milk composition in a sample of 146 Polish breastfeeding mothers and their infants. Stress reactivity was found to be associated with milk fat and fatty acids, and negatively correlated with milk lactose. Maternal psychological status during the peripartum period should be monitored to promote breastfeeding and infant nutrition.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in macronutrient content, lipid profile, fatty acid composition, and positional distribution of human breast milk throughout different lactation periods. The results showed significant variations in nutrient compositions as lactation progressed, with differences in fatty acid percentages compared to Western countries' breast milk samples. This may provide valuable data for the development of infant formulas that closely mimic the composition of Chinese breast milk.
