Background Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids on pregnant women with major depressive disorder (MDD). This meta-analysis was conducted to systematically evaluate the clinical applicability of omega-3 fatty acids in treating depression in pregnant women. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared omega-3 fatty acids ...

The fatty acid profiles of 74 strains of mycolic acid-containing coryneform bacteria were examined by gas-liquid chromatography. All of the strains contained major amounts of straight-chain and monounsaturated fatty acids although some also possessed substantial amounts of 10-methyloctadecanoic acid. Iso- and anteiso-branched acids were not present. Five distinct fatty acid patterns were eviden...

Previous experiments have shown lower abdominal and body fat deposition in broilers fed polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) compared with those fed saturated fatty acids (SFA) or monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). These changes in fat deposition may be related to different rates of lipid synthesis or lipid oxidation. In Experiment 1, in vivo lipogenesis of broilers fed different dietary fatty a...

To understand the mechanisms of off-odor production in irradiated meat, the volatile compounds produced from individual fatty acids by irradiation were identified. Nonirradiated oil emulsions prepared with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) produced many volatile compounds, but the amounts of volatiles generally decreased after irradiation. Although volatile profiles of fatty acid emulsions we...

the present study evaluated the effects of diets enriched in saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3and n-6) on reproductive indices, metabolic hormones and metabolites prior to ram introduction in oestrussynchronized ewes. zel ewes (n=188) were assigned to 4 groups. ewes in the control group (con) did notreceive fat. ewes in the 3 other groups received 3% oil/dm/day of palmolein oil (pl...

chicken has been used as a suitable model for lipid metabolism studies, because dietary modifications especially dietary fat type can change chicken body composition. fats act as a condense source of energy and certain fatty acids such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) are required for both animal and human health. the n-3 pufas, especially, eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic ...

the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of feeding rapeseed (27%, dm basis) and sunflower biodiesel by-products as protein supplements on fatty acid composition (fa), profile (ratios and indices),enzyme activitiesfrom thecarcassin lambs fed cereal-based diets. simultaneously, itwas examined the relationship between ingested fa and carcass fa. samples were obtaine dfrommal efa...

background: fatty acids are the main compounds in edible oils. oil thermal stability depends on the composition of fatty acids. so, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of fatty acid composition on the oxidative stability of extra virgin olive oil during heating process.  methods: totally, eight virgin olive oil samples, including five imported oils from market place of mahabad an...

Artemia has been widely used in aquaculture as a suitable live food. The presence of highly unsaturated fatty acids is a key factor that determines the nutritional value and marketing of Artemia for shrimp, marine larvae, sturgeon and ornamental fish industries. To determine the variation in nutritional content in cysts, decapsulated cysts and nauplii of Artemia from three different biotopes of...

In this study fatty acid contents, because of the importance in human’s life, and their seasonal variations of a dominant bivalve of Haleh Creek were determined for the first time. Fatty acid identification was done by GC-MS (Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry) method. After collecting and dissecting the species from the shells, samples weighed and frozen for further experiments. All the samp...
