This study evaluated the suitability of canola oil as a source of supplemental dietary lipid for rainbow trout. Triplicate groups of the 30 fingerlings held under identical culture conditions were fed twice daily by iso-nitrogenous, iso-calorific and iso-lipidic diets for eight weeks. Experimental diets consisted of 30.3% protein, 18.7 kJg-1 energy and 16.7% lipid from fish oil (FO), canola oil...

Dietary sources of the essential fatty acid a-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3n-3) include green leaves, some seeds, nuts and cooking oils. The principal dietary source of the long-chain (LC) n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA; 22:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) is oily fish, yet it is estimated that only 27% of UKadult...

Objective: We prospectively evaluated the association between intakes of 1) Alpha-linolenic (ALA; 18:3n-3) [plant, like flax seed, omega-3] 2) Eicosapentaenoic (EPA; 20:5n-3) [fish omega-3] 3) Docosahexaenoic (DHA; 22:6n-3) [fish and cold water algae omega-3] 4) Linoleic (LA; 18:2n-6) [plant omega-6, like corn, sunflower, safflower, peanut, soy oils] 5) Arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4n-6) [animal om...

fish oil is the important fat source in fish nutrition. high demand for fish oil and low global supply arise a need of alternative oils in fish culture. plant oils are a good candidate in this case. the aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of fish oil and linseed oil on growth and stress resistance of tiger barb ( puntius tetrazona ) larvae. artemia nauplii were enriched by 2.5,...

Contradictory reports on the protective effect of fish consumption on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk could be due to variations in the intake of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Metabolic competition between n-3 and n-6 PUFAs suggests that n-6 PUFAs in vegetable oils could attenuate the efficacy of n-3 PUFAs in fish oil to favorably alter endpoints relevant to CVD risk. We de...

This study using the rumen simulation technique (RUSITEC) investigated the changes in the ruminal microbiota and anaerobic fermentation in response to the addition of different lipid supplements to a ruminant diet. A basal diet with no oil added was the control, and the treatment diets were supplemented with sunflower oil (2%) only, or sunflower oil (2%) in combination with fish oil (1%) or alg...

PURPOSE The potential therapeutic benefits of supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in various diseases are reviewed, and the antiinflammatory actions, activity, and potential drug interactions and adverse effects of n-3 PUFAs are discussed. SUMMARY Fish oils are an excellent source of long-chain n-3 PUFAs, such as eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. After c...

a r t i c l e i n f o Swimming performance, metabolic rate, and the metabolic response to hypoxia were measured in stream-type spring Chinook salmon parr (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) that had been reared for up to 40 weeks on diets where varying levels of refined canola oil (CO) replaced anchovy oil and poultry fat as the source of supplemental dietary lipids. Thus, CO comprised either 0% (dAPF),...

A pharmaceutical raw material is every active or inactive substance used in the manufacturing process of a pharmaceutical dosage form. According to their function in the medicament, they could be classified into two groups: (i) active ingredients with pharmacological activity; and (ii) excipients which allow the active ingredients dosification and makes suitable the route of administration (de ...

abstract: influence of both dietary and bath administration of eucalyptus globules labill was evaluated on some immunological variables of common carp (cyprinus carpio) under temperature less than optimum in order to determine stimulatory effect of the essential oils. fish weighing 30-35 g were bathed or fed with different doses of 30, 60 and 120 |m|l/l or mg/kg feed for a period of 8 days. ser...
