BACKGROUND Fish oil (FO) is rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which have been suggested to be anti-inflammatory and are associated with improvement of several inflammatory diseases. In this study, we investigated the influence of FO on allergen-induced lung inflammation and airway hyperreactivity in mice. METHODS Male A/J mice were fed either a standard-chow (SC) or a FO diet (F...

The objectives were to determine the effect of dietary fish oil (FO) on uterine secretion of PGF2alpha, milk production, milk composition, and metabolic status during the periparturient period. Holstein cows were assigned randomly to diets containing FO (n = 13) or olive oil (OO, n = 13). Cows were fed prepartum and postpartum diets that provided approximately 200 g/d from 21 d before the expec...

Chronic subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of d-galactose (DG) to BL/6J mice has been shown to induce oxidative stress and is considered a model to mimic accelerated ageing. Fructo-oligosaccharide (FO) is a well-defined prebiotic and its fermentation by lactic acid bacteria has been shown to exert antioxidative capacity. The present study was aimed to determine whether FO attenuated DG-induced ...

this study was aimed at evaluating the flow behavior characteristics of yogurt enriched with fish oil (fo) microcapsules prepared by complex coacervation method. fo was microencapsulated in gelatin-acacia gum coacervates. then, the microcapsules were dried, and yogurt was produced from the milk enriched with microcapsules powder. rheological characteristics (as measured using a rotational visco...

We investigate the matching of the continuous gravitational wave in an all sky search in reference to the Earth based laser interferometric detectors. We consider the source location as the parameters of the signal manifold and templates corresponding to different source locations. For fixed source frequency fo, under the transformation θT → π − θT ; 0 ≤ θT ≤ π, we found that the matching of th...

We give topological and algebraic characterizations as well as language theoretic descriptions of the following subclasses of first-order logic FO[<] for ω-languages: Σ2, ∆2, FO 2 ∩ Σ2 (and by duality FO 2 ∩ Π2), and FO . These descriptions extend the respective results for finite words. In particular, we relate the above fragments to language classes of certain (unambiguous) polynomials. An im...

The basic principles of electrophoresis will be reviewed in light of its past contributions to biology and medicine. Preliminary experiments aboard of Apollo 14 and 16, Skylab and the recent Apollo-Soyuz Mission have confirmed the feasibility and advantages of a possible space electrophoresis facility. This has to be viewed primarily a s a unique national research resource, which may eventually...
