Leukocytes and tissue injury: the use of eicosapentaenoic acid in the control of white cell activation. Moncada, Salvador; Salmon, John A. (Wellcome Res. Lab., Beckenham/Kent BR3 3BS, UK). Prog. Lipid Res., 25(Essent. Fatty Acids, Prostaglandins Leukotrienes), 563-6 (English) 1986. CODEN: PLIRDW. ISSN: 0163-7827. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal; General Review CA Section: 18 (Animal Nutrition) Section cross-reference(s): 1 A review with 39 refs. The effects of increased intake of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) [10417-94-4] on leukocyte activity in animal models and humans in inflammation are discussed with emphasis on an EPA-enriched diet which may reduce the severity of acute inflammatory reactions and the use of EPA as antiinflammatory drug.

Nutritional significance of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to the zoeal development of the brachyuran crab, Eurypanopeus depressus (Smith)

Nutritional significance of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to the zoeal development of the brachyuran crab, Eurypanopeus depressus (Smith). Levine, Daniel M.; Sulkin, Stephen D. (Horn Point Environ. Lab., Univ. Maryland, Cambridge, MD 21613, USA). J. Exp. Mar. Biol. Ecol., 81(3), 211-23 (English) 1984. CODEN: JEMBAM. ISSN: 0022-0981. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 18 (Animal Nutrition) Larvae of the mud crab E. depressus showed higher survival and faster development rate from hatching to the megalopa stage when fed a diet of brine shrimp nauplii than when fed rotifers. When the rotifer diet was supplemented with the lipid-free fraction of brine shrimp in encapsulated form, larval growth was not enhanced. However, when only the lipid fraction of brine shrimp was added in encapsulated form to the rotifer diet, larvae showed enhanced survival and development rate to the megalopa as compared to rotifer-fed controls. When the rotifer diet was supplemented with micro-capsules contg. specific polyunsatd. fatty acid, enhanced larval survival and development rate resulted. The greatest effect was achieved on docosahexaenoic acid (w3) [6217-54-5]. The results indicate that long-chain polyunsatd. fatty acids, esp. w3 [10417-94-4] and w3, are significant in promoting successful development to the megalopa.
