Book Fish and Human Health

Download or read book Fish and Human Health written by William E. M. Lands and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Human health has been associated with the consumption of fatty acids. High consumptions of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), a necessary precursor to arachidonic acid, may be linked to a variety of human diseases, such as thrombosis and asthma. It is postulated that PUFA results in an increased production of the hormonelike arachidonate, which may be responsible for antagonizing certain disease states. The monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) have recently received widespread attention for their portective affects in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Fatty fish, nuts, and their oils are very high in MUFA, and have therefore been of great interest to health scientists.

Book Military Strategies for Sustainment of Nutrition and Immune Function in the Field

Download or read book Military Strategies for Sustainment of Nutrition and Immune Function in the Field written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-05-13 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every aspect of immune function and host defense is dependent upon a proper supply and balance of nutrients. Severe malnutrition can cause significant alteration in immune response, but even subclinical deficits may be associated with an impaired immune response, and an increased risk of infection. Infectious diseases have accounted for more off-duty days during major wars than combat wounds or nonbattle injuries. Combined stressors may reduce the normal ability of soldiers to resist pathogens, increase their susceptibility to biological warfare agents, and reduce the effectiveness of vaccines intended to protect them. There is also a concern with the inappropriate use of dietary supplements. This book, one of a series, examines the impact of various types of stressors and the role of specific dietary nutrients in maintaining immune function of military personnel in the field. It reviews the impact of compromised nutrition status on immune function; the interaction of health, exercise, and stress (both physical and psychological) in immune function; and the role of nutritional supplements and newer biotechnology methods reported to enhance immune function. The first part of the book contains the committee's workshop summary and evaluation of ongoing research by Army scientists on immune status in special forces troops, responses to the Army's questions, conclusions, and recommendations. The rest of the book contains papers contributed by workshop speakers, grouped under such broad topics as an introduction to what is known about immune function, the assessment of immune function, the effect of nutrition, and the relation between the many and varied stresses encountered by military personnel and their effect on health.

Book Health Effects of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Seafoods

Download or read book Health Effects of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Seafoods written by Artemis P Simopoulos and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health Effects of the Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Seafoods emerged from the 1985 Proceedings of a Conference on Health Effects of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Seafoods held in Washington, D.C., spearheaded by the National Fisheries Institutes of Health (NIH), the Department of Commerce (DOC), and the National Fisheries Institute (NFI). The conference aims to review the data about the health effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids in seafood; the impact of omega-3 fatty acids on eicosanoid formation, thrombosis, and inflammation; and the role of docosahexaenoic acid in membrane function and metabolism. It also encourages the researchers to study the possible origin of the health effects of seafood in the American diet. Composed of seven parts, the book begins by discussing the summary, conclusions, and recommendations the chairman of each working groups presented during the conference. It also explains the effects of fatty acids on lipoprotein and generation of products of the 5-Lipoxygenase pathway and the membrane functioning and metabolism. Moreover, it discusses the status of the fishery industries worldwide, the different classes of lipids that contain fatty acids, and recipes with seafood as the main ingredient. This book will be of great interest to the scientists such as basic researchers, clinical investigators, and epidemiologists, as well as to health personnel and consumers.

Download or read book Lipids in Aquatic Ecosystems written by Michael T. Arts and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-12 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence now suggests that the roles of essential fatty acids as growth promoters and as indices of health and nutrition are fundamentally similar in freshwater and marine ecosystems. Lipids in Aquatic Ecosystems integrates this divergent literature into a coordinated, digestible form. Chapters are organized so as to discuss and synthesize the flow of lipids from lower to higher trophic levels, up to and including humans. Linkages between the production, distribution and pathways of these essential compounds within the various levels of the aquatic food webs, and their ultimate uptake by humans and other terrestrial organisms, are highlighted throughout the book. This book will be of interest to researchers and resource managers working with aquatic ecosystems.

Book Fish  Omega 3 and Human Health

Download or read book Fish Omega 3 and Human Health written by William E. M. Lands and published by AOCS Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Lands expertly explains how curative/treatment interventions have unsuccessfully prevented diseases by ignoring the initial dietary causes of disease and death. With years of clinical and dietary expertise, he uses clear examples and current data to demonstrate how a moderate, balanced diet is the key to long-term good health. This edition includes an expanded glossary of words and concepts to help readers recognize how specific nutrient imbalances in our normal diets can contribute to disease and death. Also new to this edition are dietary tables showing the link between diet choices and the levels of healthy omega-3 in the body. As Dr. Lands eloquently states, "Curiosity is the beginning of understanding, and a steady pursuit of our questions seems to always lead us into new adventures and new understandings." The second edition of Fish, Omega-3 and Human Health reaffirms that the essential fatty acids in the foods we eat form hormones that have powerful effects on human life. While many find it hard to believe that a simple change of diet can affect so many aspects of their lives, this book aims to shift prevailing attitudes about the relationship between foods and disease.

Book Dietary Nutrients  Additives and Fish Health

Download or read book Dietary Nutrients Additives and Fish Health written by and published by . This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantity and quality of dietary fatty acids affect immune responses in fish, and there emerge to be disparity among fishes, particularly between warm and cold water species, and with temperature in response to dietary lipids. Under rigorous culture conditions, fish are subject to improved stress owing to environmental (water quality and hypoxia) and health conditions. All these factors have negative impacts on fish well-being and general performance, with subsequent financial losses. However good management accomplish contribute to reduce stressor effects, stress susceptibility is always high under crowded conditions. Adequate nutrition is vital to avoid deficiency signs, maintain satisfactory animal performance and continue normal health. Further, it is becoming evident that diets overfortified with specific nutrients at specific levels may improve health condition and disease resistance. Diet supplements are also being evaluated for their antioxidant potential, as fish are potentially at risk of peroxidative attack because of the large quantities of highly unsaturated FAs in both fish tissues and diets. This volume "Dietary Nutrients, Additives and Fish Health" is packed with comprehensive information of dietary nutrients, antinutritional factors and toxins, and non-nutrient dietary additives, and their effects on fish health and immune system functions. The book opens with an overview of Fish Nutrition and Current Issues in Aquaculture. Further chapters look into aquacultural safety and health, macronutrient requirements of silvery-black porgy, probiotics in aquaculture, digestive proteases in the green cichlid, lipid ratio on growth parameters of african catfish clarias gariepinus, effect of diethylstilbestrol (des) and 17 ß-estradiol (e2) on growth, survival and histological structure of the internal organs in juvenile european catfish silurus glanis, and antibiotics and their use, abuse and alternatives, growth, and more. Functional constituents other than essential nutrients (such as probiotics, prebiotics and immunostimulants) are also currently being considered in fish nutrition aiming to advance fish growth and/or feed effectiveness, health status, stress tolerance and resistance to diseases. Such products are becoming increasingly significant for reducing antibiotic utilization in aquaculture farms, as these have environmental impacts, may gather in animal tissues and increase bacterial resistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 24-26, 1985, a major International Conference on the Hea1th Effects of P01yunsaturated Fatty Acids in Seafoods was held in Washington, D. C. The conference had two objectives: (1) to review the research data on the health effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids in seafoods in terms of the impact of omega-3 fatty acids on eicosanoid formation, thrombosis and inflammation, and the role of docosahexaenoic acid in membrane function and metabolism, and (2) to develop a research agenda to determine the spectrum of the health effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids of seafood origin in the American diet. The 1985 conference established the fact that omega-3 fatty acids of marine origin - eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) - play important roles in prostaglandin metabolism, thrombosis and atherosc1erosis, immunology and inflammation, and membrane function. In response to the conference recommendations, the Congress of the United States provided special funding for the establishment of a "test materials 1aboratory" within the US Department of Commerce to produce under documented quality contr01 the types and quanti ties of omega-3 te~3t materials required by biomedica1 researchers. The forms of test materials to be produced include refined fish oil, polyunsaturated fatty acid enhanced triglycerides, concentrates of esters of fatty acids, purified omega-3 fatty acids, and omega-3 mono-, di- and tri~lyceride mixtures.
