evaluation of four safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes for oil content and fatty acidcomposition showed that oil content varied from 22.16 to 34.39% and the highest seed oilcontent was obtained from isfahan14 genotype (34.39%, respectively). among those fatty acidswere detected, linoleic acid (75.81- 77.86%) was the predominant fatty acid followed by oleic(12.57–13.75%), palmitic (6.0...

The lipid composition of the sperm membrane has a significant effect upon the functional characteristics of spermatozoa. In the present study we investigated the fatty acid (FA) composition of subpopulations of spermatozoa separated on a discontinuous Percoll gradient (47:90%) and the FA composition of phospholipids (PL) of sperm heads and tails in both normal and abnormal semen samples. In nor...

Background: Feeding unsaturated fatty acids sources in dairy cows is considered as a strategy to improve animal health during postpartum period and milk fatty acid profile. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the effects of conjugated linoleic acid supplement and combination of sesame meal and oil on performance and milk fatty acid composition of dairy cows during transition period. MET...

background: omega-3 fatty acids have established beneficial effects for cardiovascular disease. the use of omega-3 supplements for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) was proposed. the purpose of this study was to review the relationship between omega-3 fatty acids intake and nafld. methods: in this study, the terms such as nafld, omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexanoic acid, an...

Summary) When these problems start to have an adverse impact on school performance and behaviour, the child may be diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Research has established that omega3 fatty acids are crucial for healthy infant brain development, and researchers are also finding that omega-3 deficiencies might be related to a range of mental health problems includ...

ABSTRACT: Olives belong to the family of olea europaea L. is a popular fruit tree. The fruit and the oil extracted from it is consumed worldwide particularly in the Mediterranean regions. In this study changes in the fatty acid composition of the oil extracted from olive fruit during the course of maturation is investigated. This work is concerned with the best harvesting point when oleic acid ...

Health[1] Health[1]Men's health [2]Norway [3]Forskning.no [4] There is a link between obesity and poor sperm quality. New research shows that fatty acids such as Omega3 may be an important explanation. Considering the fact that more and more people struggle with overweight and obesity, both in Norway and internationally, there is cause for concern, according to the researcher behind the study J...

in this study, seasonal variations of fatty acid amounts in muscle tissues of capoeta caelestis were investigated. we have found that the ω3 contents of c. caelestis in spring, summer, autumn and winter were 17.43%, 15.29%, 17.54%, 13.63% in female and 16.96%, 19.25%, 18.66%, 14.76% in male, respectively. the amounts of ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were higher than those of ω6 polyunsaturated...
