The fixed oil of L. usitatissimum (flaxseed/linseed) inhibited PGE2-, leukotriene-, histamine- and bradykinin-induced inflammation. The oil also inhibited arachidonic acid-induced inflammation, suggesting its capacity to inhibit both cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways of arachidonate metabolism. In tail immersion model, the oil raised the pain threshold to a lesser extent than morphine bu...

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) seeds are widely used for oil extraction and the cold-pressed flaxseed (or linseed) cakes obtained during this process constitute a valuable by-product. The flavonol herbacetin diglucoside (HDG) has been previously reported as a constituent of the flaxseed lignan macromolecule linked through ester bonds to the linker molecule hydroxymethylglutaric acid. In this con...

OBJECTIVE To determine essential fatty acid concentrations in plasma and tissue before and after supplementation with n-3 fatty acids in dogs with atopic dermatitis. ANIMALS 30 dogs with atopic dermatitis. PROCEDURE Dogs received supplemental flaxseed oil (200 mg/kg/d), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 50 mg/kg/d)-docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 35 mg/kg/d), or mineral oil as a placebo in a double-bl...

Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) meal, the main byproduct of the flaxseed oil extraction process, is composed mainly of proteins, mucilage, and phenolic compounds. The extraction methods of phenolics either commonly employed the use of mixed solvents (dioxane/ethanol, water/acetone, water/methanol, and water/ethanol) or are done with the aid of alkaline, acid, or enzymatic hydrolysis. This work a...

Flaxseed is being consumed as an ingredient in various food formulations as it plays a major role in the field of diet and disease research due to its potential health benefits associated with linolenic acid (57%) and its rich phytoestrogens or lignans. Hence, presently, it is in great demand by food industries and in nutraceutical applications. The present study was carried out using 80, 32-w...

nowadays, cardiovascular diseases are the most important cause of death. one of the reasons of cardiovascular diseases is poor nutrition, such as high intake of saturated fatty acids and low intake of essential and unsaturated fatty acids. among the oilseeds, flaxseed contains high amount of essential fatty acids, tochopherol, fiber and lignans. grape molasses is a traditional food in iran and ...

The rapid rate of postmenopausal bone loss is mediated by the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha. Dietary supplementation with fish oil, flaxseeds, and flaxseed oil in animals and healthy humans significantly reduces cytokine production while concomitantly increasing calcium absorption, bone calcium, and bone density. Possibilities may exist for...

Background: Nutraceuticals are in high demand as dietary supplements on the international market since decades. Nutritional and therapeutic called nutraceuticals widely accessible. Alpha linolenic acid (ALA), fibre, proteins, vital omega-3 fatty acids all present concentrations flaxseed, one of oldest most utilised food supplements. The work was aimed to formulate develop flaxseed oil beads con...

Although the fish-derived, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA) may be considered “gifts from the sea” for cardiovascular health, the role of the land (or plant) -based n-3 FA -linolenic acid (ALA) has been less clear. ALA is the 18-carbon, 3-double bond (C18:3n-3) precursor to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; C20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6n-3), the latter 2 being the predominant ...

In Russia, flax has been cultivated since ancient times; fiber linen fabrics and other products were produce to meet needs of the population for exchange. Oil was a less common crop, but its cultivation is great interest.In recent years, worldwide interest in use flaxseed oil increased due healing properties high content linolenic acid. Flaxseed removes cholesterol, improves metabolism proteins...
