One gram of n-3 fatty acids contained in fish oil and krill oil lowered median triglycerides by 8.971 mg/dL (95% credible interval [CrI], 2.27 to 14.04) and 9.838 mg/dL (95%CrI, 0.72 to 19.40), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The lipid-modifying effects of krill oil and fish oil do not differ. The reduction in triglycerides depends on the dose of n-3 fatty acids consumed. © The Author(s) 2020.

We therefore hypothesised that nitrogen limitation, a prevalent environmental stress in the natural habitat of these yeasts, might affect virulence and antifungal susceptibility. We tested the effect of different nitrogen concentrations on capsule, melanin and ergosterol biosynthesis, as well as amphotericin B (AmB) and fluconazole (FLU) susceptibility. This was achieved by culturing cryptococcal strains representing Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii in media with high (0.53 g/l), control (0.42 g/l) and low (0.21 g/l) NH4Cl concentrations. India ink staining was used to determine capsule thickness microscopically, while melanin and ergosterol content were determined spectrophotometrically. We found that lower nitrogen concentrations enhanced both ergosterol and capsule biosynthesis, while a variable effect was observe
