The aim of this research was to investigate the changes in milk yield and its composition, fatty acid profile and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors gamma (PPARG) gene expression in adipose tissue of Iranian Holstein cattle in response to feeding isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets but formulated based on different oilseeds (soybean or canola seeds). Twenty cows were tested ra...

This study was conducted to determine optimal ratios of dietary linolenic acid (18:3n-3, LnA) to linoleic acid (18:2n-6, LA) for Tor tambroides. Juveniles were fed three trial diets with different ratios of LnA/LA (0.0, 0.5 and 1.0) for 10 weeks. Another diet contained 100% palm oil, which was similar tothe diet with 0.0 LnA/LA ratio but different in total amounts of C18polyunsaturated fatty ac...

background: this study aimed at determining the appropriate method for dewatering and drying biomass and selecting a suitable organic solvent for lipid extraction. methods: nannochloropsis oculata was cultured in gillard f/2 medium and after reaching the end of the stationary growth phase, algal biomass was separated from aqueous by centrifuge and dried through three methods: oven, air-dried an...

Although several studies have analyzed the fatty acid profile of phospholipids (PL) and, to a lesser degree, triacylglycerols (TG) in one or more tissues concurrently, a systematic comparison of the fatty acid composition of different tissues and/or lipid classes is lacking. The purpose of the present study was to compare the fatty acid composition of major lipid classes (PL and TG) in the rat ...

the objective of the present study was to determine chemical composition and fatty acid profile of common kilka ,clupeonella cultriventris caspia, in the caspian sea. the chemical analysis revealed that the protein and lipid content of common kilka were 15.05 and 6.5% of the fresh weight, and total mufa, pufa and sfa were found to be 37.00, 32.89 and 29.03% respectively. palmitic acid (16:0) am...

background & aim: purslane (portulaca oleracea l.), belongs to the portulacaceace family, grows in many parts of iran. results of previous studies were indicated purslane is a rich source of essential fatty acids of omega-3 and omega-6.  portulaca oleracea is a widespread weed, being the eighth common plants of the world. the aim of current study was to compare the essential fatty acids com...

The quality of fat is an important factor in defining the quality of meat. Fat quality is determined by the composition of fatty acids. Among lipid metabolism-related genes, including fatty acid synthesis genes, several genetic variations have been reported in the bovine fatty acid synthase (FASN), stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1), and GH genes...

oils and fats are substances that are important nutritionally and have important role and impact on human health. energy consumption and preservation in respect of food industry and the increase in the world population and search for new sources of oils and fats to full fill the need of the society particulary the nutritional requirements have introduced this research topic. therefore aim of th...

To investigate the importance of factors influencing the fatty acid composition, lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in the rat, the effect of 3-thia fatty acids of chain-length ranging from octyl- to hexadecylthioacetic acid were studied. In liver, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), and low density lipoprotein (LDL), the hypolipidemic 3-thia fatty acids, namely C12-S-acetic acid to C14-S-acetic...
