We investigated the fatty acid profiles of muscle from large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea R.) of different age. One- and two-year-old fish were cultured in floating net cages and sampled randomly for analysis. Moisture, protein, lipid and ash contents were determined by methods of Association of Analytical Chemist (AOAC) International. Fatty acid profile was determined by gas chromatography. Crude protein, fat, moisture and ash contents showed no significant differences between the two age groups. The contents of total polyunsaturated fatty acids and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were significantly higher and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) content was significantly lower in the two-year-old large yellow croaker than in the one-year-old (P<0.05). No significant differences were observed in the contents of total saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids, or the ratio of n-3/n-6 fatty acids among the large yellow croakers of the two age groups. We conclude that large yellow croakers are good food sources of EPA and DHA.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia worldwide. It is characterized by dysfunction in the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) complex, which may precede TAU aggregation, enhancing premature polyadenylation, spliceosome dysfunction, and causing cell cycle reentry and death. Thus, we evaluated the effects of a synthetic single-stranded cDNA, called APT20TTMG, in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived neurons from healthy and AD donors and in the Senescence Accelerated Mouse-Prone 8 (SAMP8) model.

Background: ABCA1-mediated cholesterol transport is a central feature in many lipid- dependent diseases including APOE4-associated Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis-CVD. ABCA1 upregulation of RNA transcription by nuclear factors (LXR, RXR) have been associated with liver side-effects because of the common promotor element for ABCA1 and Fatty Acid Synthase. The ABCA1 agonist CS6253, derived from the C-terminal of apoE was designed to stabilize and enhance ABCA1 function, thereby providing a safe alternative to transcriptional upregulation.

Background: Reducing chronic inflammation has been linked to anti-inflammatory foods and may be implicated in treating Alzheimer's disease (AD). Plants produce antioxidants, such as phytochemicals, that appear to reduce the incidence of chronic inflammatory diseases. Phytochemicals may include active substances like polyphenols.

Background: Lipids are key modulators in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Dysregulation of lipid homeostasis may disrupt the blood brain barrier, alter myelination, disturb cellular signaling and cause abnormal processing of the amyloid precursor protein. The purpose of this scoping review was to evaluate fatty acid supplementation in patients with AD.

Background: Spousal care partners to people with dementia (PWD) have a higher rate of depression and anxiety when compared to similar age controls. Previous studies have suggested a role of gut microbiota in the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric symptoms and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, our study aims to: (1) determine the presence and severity of depression and anxiety in care partners of PWD, and (2) determine the concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFA), which are mainly produced by gut microbiota and are important in mediating gut microbiota effects, in the blood of care partners of PWD.
