background: diabetes mellitus is associated with chronic changes in peripheral arteries because of oxidative stress and insufficient antioxidative defense mechanism. omega-3 fatty acid supplementation could be effective in some diabetes complications; however, polyunsaturated fatty acids may increase lipid peroxidation. this study aimed to determine whether eicosapentaenoic acid alone or in con...

We propose axioms for 1-free omega algebra, typed 1-free omega algebra and typed omega algebra. They are based on Kozen’s axioms for 1-free and typed Kleene algebra and Cohen’s axioms for the omega operation. In contrast to Kleene algebra, several laws of omega algebra turn into independent axioms in the typed or 1-free variants. We set up a matrix algebra over typed 1-free omega algebras by li...

The present study was designed to investigate oxidative stress of aluminium (Al)induced brain toxicity in rats and extended to investigate the possible amel iorating role of Omega -3 fatty acids. Forty eight male albino rats weighing 130 ± 10 g BW were assigned to 8 groups (6 each) as follows: normal control group; AlCl3 group (100 mg /kg BW); wheat germ oil group, Omega-3 low or high doses. Th...

Omega-3 and omega-6 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are the major families of PUFA that can be found as components of the human diet. After ingestion, both omega-3 and omega-6 PUFA are distributed to every cell in the body where they are involved in a myriad of physiological processes, including regulation of cardiovascular, immune, hormonal, metabolic, neuronal, and visual functions. At the...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) ranges from simple hepatic steatosis to steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis. The aim of this study is to test beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA 130 mg, EPA 25 mg) treatment in NAFLD, in a mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. As pretreatment, 50 mice were fed for one month with a high-fat diet to induce NAFLD. Then, the mice wer...

Adipogenesis and lipogenesis are highly sensitive to the nutritional environment in utero and in early postnatal life. Omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) inhibit adipogenesis and lipogenesis in adult rats, however it is not known whether supplementing the maternal diet with omega-3 LCPUFA results in reduced fat deposition in the offspring. Female Albino Wistar rats were fed...

Background: This study was conducted to determine the effects of n-3 PUFAs supplementation on plasma homocysteine (Hcy) level, lipid profile and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: This study is a double-blind controlled trial involving 70 patients with T2D selected from Yazd Diabetes Research Center in 2013. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either 2 g/...
