objective(s) since diabetes mellitus is accompanied by cognitive impairment in diabetic patient and animal models and since lipids play important roles in neuronal membrane composition, structure and function; we intended to evaluate the effect of dietary butter oil on passive avoidance memory of streptoztosin (stz)-induced diabetic rats in this study. materials and methods thirty six adult mal...

Chemical and physical characteristics of goats’ butter oil prepared from naturally fermented goats’ milk, and stored under accelerated oxidation conditions at 63±0.5 ° C for 30 days were investigated. Different concentrations of αtocopherol (2.5-10 mg/100g fat) and 1% of milk phospholipids (PL) were added to goat’s butter oil. Increasing the concentration of α-tocopherol and autoxidation proces...

Background: Butter is known to have a cholesterol-raising effect and, therefore, has often been included as a negative control in dietary studies, whereas the effect of moderate butter intake has not been elucidated to our knowledge. Objective: We compared the effects of moderate butter intake, moderate olive oil intake, or a habitual diet on blood lipids, highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs...

Three "saturated" fats of vegetable origin were fed to different groups of rabbits for periods up to 1 year. Cocoa butter and a hydrogenated vegetable oil shortening produced no hypercholesterolemia. Coconut oil feeding increased the serum cholesterol concentrations for 4 months, but a decline to baseline values occurred after 6 months. No gross atherosclerosis occurred in any animal fed coconu...

background: diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders and is related to oxidative-stress-induced diseases. given the role of dietary antioxidants in the control and prevention of diabetes, this study aimed to examine the effects of sesame butter versus sesame oil on the serum levels of glucose, lipid profile, and oxidative stress biomarkers in diabetic rats. methods: forty male alb...

The effect of epinephrine on the fatty acid composition of heart muscle phospholipids was examined in rats fed diets containing 10% by weight of butter, corn oil, or cod liver oil. Repeated administration of epinephrine caused elevation of docosahexaenoic acid in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine and a corresponding decrease in linoleic acid content. Arachidonic acid was increase...

objectives the link between dietary fat and heart disease has been established for decades. although, the atherogenic effect of saturated fatty acids is somehow controversial, the cardioprotective effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa) are clearly documented. this study investigated the effects of different dietary oils on serum fatty acid composition in rat. methods six week male wistar...

Butter is a high-cost oil, so it sometimes sold by mixing margarine being cheaper oil manufacturers. Fake butter has negative effects on both the health of consumers and economy. In our study, some traditional modern methods were applied for detection fake butter. Three samples consisting pure (PB), (PM), half-mixed butter-margarine (BM) mixture examined. The physical chemical properties these ...
