| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The concept of a “structured-lipid” implies modification of the fatty acid composition and/or their location in the glycerol backbone, and improvement of the physical and/or physiological properties of dietary lipids. Our study demonstrated that bioactive lipids (such as ozonized-olive oil and highly-unsaturated long chain fatty acids) or structured lipids (such as n-3 structured lipids, and phospholipids) displays at least two different physiological actions that alleviate obesity-induced diseases: one through the reduction of inflammatory damage by the regulation of in productions of adipocytekines and the other through the regulation of hepatic lipid synthesis. Thus, possible findings on the effects of the form, such as PL, TAG or DAG, used for the administration of bioactive fatty acids, such as ozonated-FAs and n-3 PUFAs, would be of great interest for future study.
