This study investigates the association between circulating FA and mortality, focusing on all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Using data from 2517 individuals (mean age 48.2 years) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011–2014), we analyzed FA levels and mortality using a weighted Cox proportional hazards model, with sex-stratified analysis. In addition, restricted cubic spline was used to evaluate the FAs and all-cause mortality on a continuous scale. Over 16,660 person-years, 213 deaths occurred, including 73 from CVD. After multivariable adjustment, circulating saturated fatty acids (SFAs; arachidic, docosanoic, tricosanoic, and lignoceric acids) were associated with lower all-cause mortality risk (HR per 1-SD [95% CI]: 0.76 [0.59–0.97], 0.69 [0.56–0.85], 0.63 [0.52–0.77], 0.68 [0.59–0.80], respectively). In contrast, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs; myristoleic, palmitoleic, and cis−Vaccenic acids) were associated with higher all-cause mortality risk (HR per 1-SD [95% CI]: 1.13 [1.04–1.23], 1.18 [1.09–1.27], 1.20 [1.09–1.32], respectively). Similar trends were observed for CVD mortality. <span>l</span>-shaped nonlinear associations indicated that the lowest risk of all-cause mortality occurred at FA concentrations between 25 and 65 μmol/L.

Preclinical and clinical studies suggest the effects of DHA or NA supplementation on memory improvement in aging and Alzheimer's disease models. However, it is not yet clear whether dietary supplementation with DHA and NA can enhance memory by increasing their levels in gray and white matter. The present study aimed to examine the spatial memory and brain white and gray matter lipidomic profiles in adolescent mice with or without a DHA and NA-enriched diet. Spatial memory and conditional fear memory were evaluated in adolescent mice using the Morris Water Maze and passive avoidance test beginning at 7-week of age and mice were killed at 13-week of age to allow for the dissection of brain tissues. Combined low dose treatment of DHA (600 mg/kg) and NA (94 mg/kg) synergically enhanced spatial memory and fear memory function, and the effects were better than that of DHA intervention. While, high dose of DHA and NA treatment was detrimental to long-term spatial memory and fear memory, corresponding to the decreased levels of serotonin (5-HT) in the cortex and hippocampus, and imbalanced fatty acids in the white and gray matter. In addition, c-Fos positive neurons were increased in low dose DHA treated mice comparing to that of control mice. Lipidomic analyses suggest levels of NA, dihomo-γ-linolenic acid, EPA, DHA, and linoleic acid were increased in the white matter post low dose of DHA + NA treatment, as well as increased levels of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid, EPA, and DHA in the gray matter compared with control mice. Understanding how DHA and NA supplementation during the adolescent periods affects cognitive function in a dose-specific manner has important implications for determining the dietary requirements of DHA and NA. The present study reported for the first time that DHA and NA combination regulate spatial memory in a dose-specific manner and provides evidence that further research needs to consider how different ratios of DHA and NA regulate the fatty acid composition in white and gray matter, thereby influencing memory function.</p>","PeriodicalId":11436,"journal":{"name":"eFood","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/efd2.70059","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different nanomaterials, such as nano-coatings, nano-films, and nanofibers have proven their effectiveness in modulating oxygen and moisture permeability and repressing microbial contamination along with systems for real-time environmental monitoring. Furthermore, the incorporation of biodegradable nanocomposite films into the market provides a bio-based alternative to conventional packaging, which is a cheaper and environmentally friendly way of maintaining food safety and freshness. However, despite such developments, it can be seen that there are a number of challenges that still require a bit further probing. The future research should concern the most comprehensive analysis of nanoparticles that migrate from the packaging into the products and how they may affect people in the case of long-term exposure. Moreover, incorporating regulations related to the usage of nanotechnologies should be standardized to ensure that the adoption of nanotechnology in the food packaging process is safe and responsible. Green technology made the innovations in bio-based nanomaterials and eco-friendly nano-coatings become a reality, which further promoted the sustainability of the gains and still brought all the benefits intact.
