Fish consumption and supplementation with n-3 fatty acids reduce CVD risk. Krill oil is an alternative source of marine n-3 fatty acids and few studies have investigated its health effects. Thus, we compared krill oil supplementation with the intake of fish with similar amounts of n-3 fatty acids on different cardiovascular risk markers. In an 8-week randomised parallel study, thirty-six health...

The beneficial effects of long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCn-3PUFAs), i.e., eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoicacids (EPA and DHA), on human health have been well documented [1]. Beneficial health effects of omega-3 LC PUFA intake are well demonstrated for prevention of cardiovascular diseases and cancer, as well as in the improvement of a proper development and functioning of...

18 Producing organic fish diets requires that the use of both fish meal and fish oil is minimized 19 and replaced by sustainable, organic sources. The purpose of the present study was to 20 replace fish oil with organic oils and evaluate the effects on feed intake, feed conversion 21 ratio (FCR), daily specific growth rate (SGR) and nutrient digestibility in diets in which fish 22 meal protein ...

the aim of this experiment was evaluating effect of fish oil versus palm oil on mammary gland health and milk production in holstein cows. ten multiparous holstein cows were used from six week before up to 63 days after parturition. feed intake and milk production were recorded daily, milk composition, body weight and body condition score were measured weekly and blood metabolites were determin...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether dietary intake of fat or fish is associated with age-related maculopathy (ARM) prevalence. DESIGN Cross-sectional, urban population-based study. PARTICIPANTS People (N = 3654) aged 49 years or older. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Subjects with ARM were identified from masked grading of retinal photographs. A 145-itemself-administered, semiquantitative food frequency qu...

An experiment was conducted on broiler chickens to study the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), fish oil, both at 7% of the diet, or their mixtures at 3.5% of the diet, on the performance, carcass traits and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens. The chicks fed with 7% fish oil or 7% CLA diets, were found to have an inferior weight gain in grower and finisher phases, respectively. A...

Evidence-based health recommendations are founded on the assumption that quality of research and findings are largely reproducible (1). Prospective cohort studies that have examined how fish and omega-3 fatty acid intake are related to the risk of developing diabetes have yielded inconsistent findings. This issue of Diabetes Care includes articles from two research teams that each conducted a m...

This study was carried out to measure the prececal protein and ether extract digestibility of shrimp and fish meal using the regression approach. A total of 280 Cobb 500 day-old broilers (mixed sexes) were randomly allotted to 7 treatment groups (4 replicates of 10 broilers each) in a completely randomized design. Feed intake was higher in the birds that received protease-supplemented shrimp me...

The aim of this study was to investigate the independent and combined effects of fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) gene polymorphism and fish consumption on oral cancer. A hospital-based case-control study was performed including 305 oral cancer patients and 579 cancer-free controls. The genotypes were determined by TaqMan genotyping assay. Non-conditional logistic regression model was used to as...

BACKGROUND Methylmercury (MeHg) exposure assessments among average fish consumers in the United States may underestimate exposures among U.S. subpopulations with high intakes of regionally specific fish. OBJECTIVES We examined relationships among fish consumption, estimated mercury (Hg) intake, and measured Hg exposure within one such potentially highly exposed group, recreational anglers in ...
