 "The role of EPA and DHA (FISH OIL) in Neurological Functioning.")
Fish oils also known as marine oils, are fats found in fish, particularly cold-water fish and other marine life such as phytoplankton and krill. These oils are rich sources of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, also called omega-3 fatty acids. The two most studied fish oils are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These oils are rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and compete with arachidonic acid for incorporation into phospholipids, particularly of...

 "Resveratrol: A multitargeted agent for age-associated chronic diseases")
The stilbene resveratrol has been found in fruits such as grapes, peanuts, and berries. Resveratrol exhibits anticancer properties against a wide variety of tumours, including lymphoid and myeloid cancers, multiple myeloma, and cancers of the breast, prostate, stomach, colon and pancreas.
The growth-inhibitory effects of resveratrol are mediated through cell-cycle arrest; induction of apoptosis via Fas/CD95, p53, ceramide activation, tubulin polymerization, mitochondrial and adenylyl cyclas...
