Pre-treatment with polyunsaturated fatty acids or bioactive lipid mediators has been shown to reduce neuronal injury in rodent models of focal ischaemia, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this neuroprotection are unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether syst…

Lipids are important for the structural and physiological functions of neuronal cell membranes. Alterations in their lipid composition may result in membrane dysfunction and subsequent neuronal deficits that characterise various disorders. This study focused on profiling lipids …
This thesis examines fatty acid (FA) and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) dynamics in a marine top predator, the grey seal (Halichoerus grypus,) and their transfer during lactation from mother to offspring. It examines regional and annual variations in FA composition and PCB loads…
Difficulties in controlling and forecasting avocado fruit ripening and the highly perishable nature of the crop once harvested, are the major causes of concern for avocado traders. In particular, the simultaneous presence of many suppliers may account for increased fruit variabi…
Lesser scaup ( Aythya affinis ; scaup) comprise 89% of the continental breeding population of scaup (greater, Aythya marila , and lesser combined) which has declined nearly 60% over the past 5 decades from an estimated 7.9 million in 1972 to a historical low of 3.2 million in 20…
A dissertação apresentada, “Estudo da Viabilidade e Incorporação de Myrtus spp. em diferentes produtos alimentares”, foi realizada com base no desenvolvimento de novas formulações alimentares, tendo como objetivo valorizar nutricionalmente os alimentos, com o extrato de Myrtus s…
This research aims to look at dietary practices of separate populations from across the Adriatic Sea (Italy and Croatia). Paleodietary studies through stable isotope analysis is a means to look at possible food catchments chosen by past communities in order to make educated assu…
Evidence shows that omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FAs) may help in preventing heart disease. The purposes of this current study were to investigate the consumption and the food sources of n-3 FA in two groups of elderly men living in different geographic location (coastal and interna…
Lipid carriers such as emulsions and liposomes have been widely studied as carriers for different nutraceuticals. However, lipid carriers' physicochemical instability results in the leakage of loaded nutraceuticals and the low solubility into the digestion medium, thus reducing …
