background and objective: obesity in childhood increases the risk of fatty liver disease. with respect to the increased prevalence of obesity in iran and the world, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between fatty liver and obesity in 6 -18 year-old children. methods: in this case-control study, 25 overweight children and 24 obese children, who had inclusion criteria, were selecte...

objective(s)cardiovascular disease causes a major clinical problem in patients with end stage renal disease. since metabolic acidosis is very common in patients with end stage renal disease, we aimed to investigate the effect of experimentally-induced metabolic acidosis on serum lipid profile and aortic fatty streak (fs) formation in normal and high-cholesterol fed rabbits.materials and methods...

Background Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids on pregnant women with major depressive disorder (MDD). This meta-analysis was conducted to systematically evaluate the clinical applicability of omega-3 fatty acids in treating depression in pregnant women. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared omega-3 fatty acids ...

seasonal variation of fatty acids composition of milk and various milk products have been subjected to many investigations.however ,most of the researches are concerned with a single product and apparantly there is no inforation about the extent and the factors which contribute to changes in fatty acids composition of lipids in the process of ghee-making by the  traditional methods.thus compara...

Seasonal variations of proximate compositions and fatty acids of tench (Tinca tinca) captured from Seyhan Dam Lake were investigated. The results showed that seasonal fatty acid compositions of tench fillets in July, August and November ranged from 29.59% to 33.71% for saturated fatty acids (SFA), from 20.50% to 21.69% for monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and from 26.50% to 41.85% for polyun...

abstract objective: to investigate the effect of an anti-inflammatory drug (piroxicam) on the development of fatty streak in rabbits. methods: male rabbits were fed with four types of regimen: a) normal rabbit chow, b) 1% cholesterol diet c) cholesterol diet plus piroxicam, d) normal rabbit chow plus piroxicam. after 12 weeks, the animals were sacrificed and the aorta, as well as the right and ...

The chemical composition variations of the Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) from Karachi coast were investigated seasonally over the period of one year (2004-2005).  Moisture, crude protein, fat and ash contents varied from 70.11-74.41%, 16.02- 20.09%, 3.0-12%, and 0.89-1.35% respectively. The seasonal data indicated that the main fatty acids of the total lipid were C16:0, C16:1, C18:0,...

background: liver fatty acid-binding protein (l-fabp) is the main cytosolic binding site for long chain fatty acids in hepatocytes. fabps enhance the uptake of fatty acids into the cell by increasing their concentration due to decreasing concentration of unbound fatty acids inside the cell. objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary unsaturated to saturated fatty a...
