The effects of dietary linoleic (LA) and linolenic acids (LN) on growth and immunity of allmale hybrid tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus×Oreochromis aureus , were evaluated for 10 wk. Fish fed 0.12% LA+ 0% LN had the lowest weight gain (WG) but was not significantly different from diets containing 0.5% LA or 0.40% LA+ 1.0% LN. Fish fed 1% LA had the highest WG but did not differ from diets with 0....

BACKGROUND Current dietary guidelines recommend that dietary fat should comprise 20-35% percent of total energy intake, with less than 10% of energy from saturated fat. However, many Americans exceed these goals and data suggest that African Americans tend to consume a higher percentage of energy from dietary fat than Whites. Because diets low in dietary fat, particularly saturated fat, are ass...

The effects of RPF on metabolites and reproductive genes in testes Malin ram was investigated. Twenty rams (36.6kg ± 5.57 kg bodyweight), were subjected to four dietary treatments; A: basal diet without rumen-protected fat (RPF), B; with 2% prilled fat, C; calcium salt D; canola oil. At the end experiment out five animals from each group slaughtered. excised for gene expression stud-ies. tested...

The present study was funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, its aim being to identify the technical barriers to the development of reduced-fat alternatives for bakery products. Using National Food Survey (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, 1998) statistics on dietary consumption within the home, biscuits, cakes and pastries were identified as contributing signific...

The main dietary sources of micronutrients are animal source foods, fruits, vegetables and legumes. Animal source foods are the only source of some micronutrients and the main dietary source of others. Micronutrient status and child development are improved by animal source food interventions in populations that habitually consume low amounts. Of particular concern is the high global prevalence...

Studies were carried out to determine the independent and interactive effects of dietary fat and cholesterol on the regulation of hepatic apoB/E receptor expression and its relationship to hepatic cholesterol concentrations and low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle characteristics. Guinea pigs were fed 15% (w/w) fat diets (lard, olive oil, or corn oil) with cholesterol levels corresponding to ...

Crossbred pigs (n=288) were used to test the interactive effects of dietary fat source and slaughter weight on the fatty acid composition of subcutaneous fat. Pigs were blocked by initial BW (28.1 kg), and, within blocks, pens (8 pigs/pen) were randomly assigned to either grower and finisher diets devoid of added fat (Ctrl) or diets formulated with 5% beef tallow (BT), poultry fat (PF), or soyb...
