Microalgae as source of polyunsaturated fatty acids
... Modern nutritional theory is focusing on the numerous health benefits of maintaining sufficient levels of fatty acids and in particular the very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (i.e., C20 and C22) that belong to the omega (ω) 3 family. They are essential fatty acids for the development ...

Lipids_Notes
... Lipids are formed by condensation reactions between fatty acids and an alcohol Fatty Acids Contain the acidic carboxyl –COOH group. Have the general formula R.COOH where R is hydrogen or a group such as CH3, C2H5, or C3H7 and so on. Usually many carbons in the fatty acids used to make lipids ...

Lipoxin
Lipoxins are members of the family of bioactive products generated from Arachidonic Acid (AA). They have a number of immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory actions. Lipoxins are short lived endogenously produced nonclassic eicosanoids whose appearance in inflammation signals the resolution of inflammation. They are abbreviated as LX, an acronym for lipoxygenase (LO) interaction products. At present two lipoxins have been identified; lipoxin A4 (LXA4) and lipoxin B4 (LXB4).
