background: nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (nash), a progressive stage of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld), is characterized by steatosis with inflammation. investigations have suggested that oxidative stress may play an important role in the progress of nafld to nash. to provide further insights into beneficial effects of antioxidants in nash prevention, we employed two manganese-superox...

conclusions further investigations are needed about favorable composition of unsaturated fatty acids and flavonoid content of leaves of s. paradoxa. in addition, due to high phenolic content of the leaves, s. paradoxa is a promising source of natural antioxidants and may play good antidiabetic activity. results the amount of total phenolic compounds was higher in leaves than roots. besides, roo...

nowadays, cardiovascular diseases are the most important cause of death. one of the reasons of cardiovascular diseases is poor nutrition, such as high intake of saturated fatty acids and low intake of essential and unsaturated fatty acids. among the oilseeds, flaxseed contains high amount of essential fatty acids, tochopherol, fiber and lignans. grape molasses is a traditional food in iran and ...

The nutritional values of the three Caspian Sea macroalgae species, Cladophora glomerata, Enteromorpha intestinalis and Laurencia caspica were evaluated based on proximate and fatty acid composition. The investigated species demonstrated low lipid composition (0.20±0.03- 1.62±0.26 % DW) and high carbohydrate (21.70±0.17-26.1±1.27%DW) and protein contents (13.34±2.41-28.08±0.51%DW). The as...

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), Glycerol (G) and sunflower oil blends with varying concentration were subjected to enzymatic esterification using a 1, 3- specific immobilized lipase. CLA was used as acyl due to its purported health benefits. The transesterified lipids were evaluated for free fatty acids (FFA) and composition of fatty acids by gas chromatography. Lipozyme RM IM is preferred for ...
