Gaucher's disease

Gaucher's (go-SHAYZ) disease occurs when certain harmful fatty substances accumulate to excessive levels in your liver, spleen, lungs, bone marrow and, less commonly, brain. This accumulation of...

Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation changes intracellular phospholipase A2 activity and membrane fatty acid profiles in individuals at ultra-high risk for psychosis

Healthy Fatty Acid Levels Return When Weight Normalizes In Girls With Eating Disorders

A study of teenage girls with eating disorders has shown that reduced essential fatty acid levels returned to normal once the girls increased their weight to a healthy level. The research, published i...

Effect of dietary intervention to reduce the n-6/n-3 fatty acid ratio on maternal and fetal fatty acid profile and its relation to offspring growth and body composition at 1 year of age

Giant spin Seebeck effect in a non-magnetic material

The spin Seebeck effect is observed when a thermal gradient applied to a spin-polarized material leads to a spatially varying transverse spin current in an adjacent non-spin-polarized material, where...

Ultragenyx licenses fatty acid oxidation disorder compound

Baylor Research Institute (Dallas, Texas) granted Orphan disease company Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. (Novato, Calif.) exclusive, North American rights to develop and commercialize tripheptanoin (UX...

High Fatty Acid Intake Lessens Risk for CHD (CME/CE)

(MedPage Today) -- Higher levels of omega-6 fatty acid in the blood were associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), results of a nested case-control study found.

Amazon Indian Breast Milk Has Higher Omega-3 Content

The omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is vital for cognitive and visual development in infants. Now, researchers have discovered that Amerindian women have higher levels of omega-3 fatty a...

Omega-3 fatty acid and curry spice repair spinal tissue damage

UCLA researchers discovered that a diet enriched with a popular omega-3 fatty acid and an ingredient of curry spice preserved [...]

A nanoscale standard for the seebeck coefficient.

The Seebeck coefficient, a key parameter describing a material's thermoelectric performance, is generally difficult to measure, and no intrinsic calibration standard exists. Quantum dots and single el...

Spin seebeck coefficient of a molecular spin pump.

Within a generalized version of previously considered model of a molecular spin pump controlled by an external electric field [J. Fransson and M. Galperin, Phys. Rev. B, 2010, 81, 075311] we discuss t...

The fabrication of thermoelectric La(0.95)Sr(0.05)CoO(3) nanofibers and Seebeck coefficient measurement.

The P-type perovskite oxides La(1 - x)Sr(x)CoO(3) are a promising group of complex oxide thermoelectric (TE) materials. The thermoelectric properties of these oxides are expected to be significantly i...

Seebeck Tuning in Chalcogenide Nanoplate Assemblies by Nanoscale Heterostructuring.

Chalcogenide nanostructures offer promise for obtaining nanomaterials with high electrical conductivity, low thermal conductivity, and high Seebeck coefficient. Here, we demonstrate a new approach of...

Giant Seebeck coefficient thermoelectric device of MnO(2) powder.

We report a giant Seebeck coefficient (S) thermoelectric (TE) material-MnO(2) powder-and the design of a practical MnO(2) TE generator to light up a regular light emitting diode (LED). The S of MnO(2)...
