We tested for gender differences in dietary fatty acid metabolism in 12 nonobese men and 12 nonobese women using the meal fatty acid tracer/adipose tissue biopsy study design. In addition to determining body composition, measurements of regional adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity, blood flow, and fat cell size were performed to place the meal fatty acid kinetic studies in perspective. T...

the aim of this work was to analyze the fatty acid profile in persian gulf shrimp, metapenaeus affinis that is one of the edible and well-known shrimps and has suitable amount of fatty acids specific polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa). it has been reported that, a high dietary consumption of marine n-3 fatty acids may prevent the development of atherosclerosis and thrombosis. the fatty acids pr...

   Two omega-3 fatty acids including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are essential for the physiologic function of neuronal cell membrane. Normal function of neuronal cell membrane requires appropriate composition of fatty in its structure. Present study was designed to compare the effect of short-term and long-term pretreatment with omega-3 fatty acids on scopolamine...

the study was carried out to investigate the effects of camelia (camelina sativa l. crantz) variety (cs) oil or seeds on performance, meat quality, immunity and plasma metabolic profile in broiler chickens. the broilers (n= 2,080, cobb 500) were randomly allocated (sex ratio 1:1) for 32-day experimental periods (from 11d to 42 d) to 4 experimental groups: control (corn-soybean meal-full fat soy...

BACKGROUND & AIMS The consumption of long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFA) is known to be cardio-protective. Data on the influence of LC n-3 PUFA on arterial stiffness in the postprandial state is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of a LC n-3 PUFA-rich meal on measures of arterial stiffness. METHODS Twenty-five healthy subjects (12 men, 13 ...

The impact of feeding flax as seed, meal, or oil to late-pregnant and lactating sows on fatty acid profiles in sows and their piglets was studied. Sixty second- and third-parity sows (Yorkshire x Landrace) were fed 1 of 4 diets from 68 d of gestation until 21 d of lactation. Diets were: control without flax (CTL, n = 15); 10% flaxseed supplementation (FS, n = 16); 6.5% flaxseed meal supplementa...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is the world’s second-largest oilseed crop after soybean. It contains functional compounds, including fatty acids and phenols, which are known for their health nutritional benefits. In Morocco, rapeseed was introduced as a promising that has shown good adaptation great potential. Six genotypes were registered released most high-performance Moroccan varieties in term...

The proximate composition, amino acids and fatty acids composition in the muscle of wild, inshore and offshore cage-cultured large yellow croaker, Pseudosciaena crocea (Richardson, 1846), were determined to identify nutritional differences. Wild fish groups showed highest content of moisture and crude protein, but the lowest lipid content. Offshore cage-cultured fish showed significantly higher...

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) releases fatty acids from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins for use in cellular metabolic reactions. How this hydrolysis, which occurs at the vascular endothelium, is regulated is poorly understood. A fatty acid feedback system has been proposed by which accumulation of fatty acids impedes LPL-catalyzed hydrolysis and dissociates the enzyme from its endothelial binding sit...

amino acid (aa) content of six meat and bone meal (mbm) samples was determined by ion-exchange chromatography. true aa digestibility of amino acids were determined of using precise sibbald's feeding method. metionin and lucien, with averages of 0.35 and 2.29 percent, had the lowest and highest values among essential aa of mbm samples. average content of individual aa, sum of essential and ...
