An Analysis of the Household Demand for Fish in Scotland

Though fish is high in nutrients that provide a range of health benefits, most people in Scotland only eat around half the amount of seafood recommended by health professionals. Therefore, this study aims to analyse Scottish consumers’ demand for fish using an incomplete demand system. The data in the analysis come from a home-scanner dataset for Scotland, which contains weekly data on food and drink purchases for consumption at home, covering the period 2013-2021. Price and income elasticities were estimated for five aggregate fish categories across seven household groups: pre-family, young family, middle family, older family, older dependents, empty nests, and retired family. The results show that among all household groups, the retired group spends more on total fish products out of their total budget for groceries. For most fish groups, the demand of families with children is more responsive to income and price changes than families with only adults

Less than half of the European dietary recommendations for fish consumption are satisfied by national seafood supplies

Los ácidos grasos de la dieta afectan al metabolismo hepático y la ateroesclerosis mecanismos no revelados usando una aproximación proteómica

Dietary fatty acids play an important role in the aetiology of coronary heart disease. The effects of dietary fatty acids on lipoprotein metabolism are well described, but additional or alternative mechanisms relating to potential influence on coronary heart disease are not known. This review describes how proteomics techniques have been used to identify proteins that are differentially regulated by dietary fatty acids. Such proteins may reveal pathways by which dietary fatty acids influence disease risk.Los ácidos grasos de la dieta cumplen un importante papel en la etiología de las enfermedades coronarias. A pesar de estar bien descrito el efecto de dichos ácidos grasos sobre el metabolismo lipoproteíco, no se conocen mecanismos alternativos que relacionen su influencia sobre posibles enfermedades coronarias. En esta revisión se describe el uso de técnicas proteómicas para la identificación de proteínas diferencialmente reguladas por dichos ácidos grasos. Tales proteínas pueden revelar rutas metabólicas implicadas en el riesgo de enfermedades y reguladas por los ácidos grasos de la dieta
