Transhumant production system (TPS) is a type of extensive livestock production practiced by transhumant pastoralists in which indigenous livestock breeds are mainly fed a pasture-based diet. The hypothesis tested in this work was whether differences existed between fat samples from the different species in respect to ratios of n-6/n-3, and polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids. ...

abstract background: migraine is a primary headache disorder that affects the neurovascular system. recent studies have shown that consumption of some fatty acids such as omega‑3 fatty acids improves migraine symptoms. the aim of the present study is to assess the association between usual intake of fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (epa), docosahexaenoic acid (dha), and saturated fatty...

Background Many inflammatory cells and cytokines play main role in allergic reaction, such as Th2 lymphocyte, mast cell, eosinophils, and interleukins such as IL-4,5,13. So those kinds of cells and cytokines would be the therapeutic targets in allergic inflammation. IL-10 regulates an allergic inflammation and makes tolerance, so it is one of good therapeutic modalities. Herb N(Perrilae semen) ...

Mammalian spermatozoa are characterized by a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) which play a crucial role in fertilization. This review focuses on analysis of sperm fatty acid profiles and the effects of omega-3, saturated and trans dietary and sperm fatty acids on sperm parameters. Two major points have been pivotal points of investigation in the field of sperm fatty acid pr...

In this study, the oil contents, fatty acid composition and tocopherol contents of sesame seed and oils belong to different countries were determined. The oil contents of materials changed between 49.22% (India) and 56.16% (Nigeria-Kanu). The major saturated fatty acids in sesame seed oils were palmitic (6.06-9.03%), stearic (5.29-6.42%) acids with small 20:0 (0.19-0.71%) acids. The main un...

Accumulation of free unsaturated fatty acids, added individually to the medium, into cellular triacylglycerol (TG) were examined using a fungus, Mucor hiemalis HA-30, which could produce the eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3)-enriched TG. Linoleic (18:2n-6), γ-linolenic (18:3n-6), arachidonic acids (20:4n-6), and 20:5n-3 were favored for accumulation in TG and each fatty acid accumulated in TG at ...

The chemical and thermal characteristics of goldenberry pomace oil (GPO) seed (GSO) were investigated. GPO GSO contained high levels unsaturated fatty acids (90.1% 85.1%, respectively), the major acid was linoleic (62.0% 72.8%, respectively). Additionally, eleven triacylglycerol (TAG) species, three which represented 82.7%, namely C54:6, C54:4 C52:4, trilinolein dominant one (35.5%). nine TAG t...
