It had been known that narcotics are more soluble in fats and oils than in water. With this in mind, yon Bibra and Hatless, 1 in 1847, carried on a series of experiments on rabbits. Half the animals were anesthetized, and the other half were used as controls. All the animals were killed and the fat content of the brains and livers was determined quantitatively by extraction with alcohol and eth...

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive method for quantitative estimation of liver fat. Knowledge of its imprecision, which comprises biological variability and measurement error, is required to design therapeutic trials with measurement of change. The role of adipocyte lipolysis in ectopic fat accumulation remains unclear. We examined the relationship between liver fat content...

forty eight 8-month-old male goats were divided into three groups. in each group, eight goats were feedrestricted for 45, 60 or 75 days, and eight goats served as the control. restricted groups were fed with a maintenance ration, and the control goats were fed with a ration supporting 50 g of daily weight gain. at the end of restriction period, the restricted goats were offered the same ration ...

Release of volatiles in oil emulsion systems containing various fat contents was determined using purge-and-trap dynamic headspace/gas chromatography. Oil emulsions were prepared using 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, or 8% oil, and a standard mixture was prepared using hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, and alcohols. Fat content in oil emulsions reduced the volatility of added volatile standards, and the amoun...

Feeding dairy cows a ration containing whole flax seeds (linseed), flax (linseed) oil or milled, extruded or micronized linseed has five beneficial effects on the fat profile of cow’s milk: (1) increasing the content of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA); (2) increasing the content of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA); (3) decreasing the omega-6/omega-3 ratio; (4) decreasing the overall saturated fat cont...

INTRODUCTION Excess intakes of energy, sodium, saturated fat, and trans fat are associated with increased risk for cardiometabolic syndrome. Trends in fast-food restaurant portion sizes can inform policy decisions. We examined the variability of popular food items in 3 fast-food restaurants in the United States by portion size during the past 18 years. METHODS Items from 3 national fast-food ...

conclusions this study demonstrated that rt and at are equally effective in reducing hepatic fat content and liver enzyme levels among patients with nafld. however, aerobic exercise specifically improves nafld independent of any change in body weight. results after training, hepatic fat content was markedly reduced, to a similar extent, in both the aerobic and resistance exercise training group...

The effects of reducing pork fat levels from 20% to 15% or 10% by partially substituting pork back fat with wheat sprout fiber in reduced-fat chicken patties were investigated. Approximate composition, energy value, pH, color, cooking loss, reduction in diameter, reduction in thickness, shear force, and sensory properties were determined. Moisture content, ash contents, yellowness of uncooked a...
