  • Publication number: 20190183139
    Abstract: A method and product for improving maternal and child health through nutrition. Omega-6 fatty acid and/or omega-3 fatty acid are provided to a woman and/or child prior to, during and/or after pregnancy to improve the health of the woman and her child. The ratios of the omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids vary during various stages, e.g., pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and post-pregnancy. The omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids can be in a variety of forms, such as at least one of highly purified algal oil comprising 70% by weight or more of the desired HUFA, triglyceride oil combined with phospholipid, phospholipid, protein and phospholipid combination, or dried marine microalgae.

  • Publication number: 20110190389
    Abstract: Disclosed are novel oxylipins, referred to herein as docosanoids and eicosanoids, that are derived from C22 polyunsaturated fatty acids and from C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids, respectively, and methods of making and using such oxylipins. Also disclosed is the use of docosapentaenoic acid (C22:5n-6) (DPAn-6), docosapentaenoic acid (C22:5n-3) (DPAn-3), and docosatetraenoic acid (DTAn-6: C22:4n-6), docosatrienoic acid (C22:3n-3) (DTrAn-3), docosadienoic acid (C22:2n-6) (DDAn-6), eicosatrienoic acid (C20:3n-3) (ETrAn-3) eicosapentaenoic acid and arachidonic acid as substrates for the production of novel oxylipins, and to the oxylipins produced thereby. Also disclosed is the use of DPAn-6, DPAn-3, DTAn-6, and/or the oxylipins derived therefrom, and/or novel docosanoids derived from the structures of C22 fatty acids in therapeutic and nutritional or cosmetic applications, and particularly as anti-inflammatory or anti-neurodegenerative compounds.
