fatty acids play important roles in biological systems and the newborns fatty acids requirements are covered only by the milk. it is of particular interest to qualify the content of the fatty acids in the milk. this study was performed to determine the levels of some fatty acids in the infant formulas and also to describe a method without derivatization for the fatty acids analysis and applying...

Background: Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) belongs to Anacardiaceae family. The dried and powdered fruits are used as a food flavoring and medicinal plant. Objective: In this study, variability of fatty acid composition in some wild sumac fruits were investigated. Method: The samples were collected from their natural origins in central parts of Iran; Isfahan and Markazi province in the September to...

diet as a part of lifestyle plays a pivotal role in the development of metabolic syndrome and its consequences. fatty acid composition as a part of dietary intake affects blood fatty acid concentrations, insulin sensitivity and different metabolic pathways associated with the occurrence and consequences of the metabolic syndrome. the aim of this review is to evaluate the effects of dietary fatt...

The aim of this study was to obtain a basic knowledge of the fatty acid compositions and consequently, determination of diet for Turbo coronatus by means of fatty acids biomarkers. Samples were collected during a year (April, July, October 2007 and February 2008) in coastal areas of Chabahar Bay in Oman Sea. Biomarker fatty acids revealed that diet of Turbo coronatus included phytoplankton, zoo...

conclusions our results showed that vitamin e plus omega free fatty acids decrease the severity of mastodynia better than vitamin e alone. results vitamin e plus omega free fatty acids are more effective than the use of vitamin e alone in decreasing mastodynia. significant difference was seen between the cardiff breast score (cbs) of the vitamin e group compared to vitamin e - omega group (p < ...

introduction the common isoform of fatty acids in animal and herbal lipids are cis fatty acids, however in some sources such as milk and meat of ruminant, the trans fatty acids are more abundant as compared to the plant lipids. the trans fatty acids are very important because they increase the cardiovascular and heart attack. the heart disorders were increased by enhancing the concentration of ...

the aim of this work was to analyze the fatty acid profile in persian gulf shrimp, metapenaeus affinis that is one of the edible and well-known shrimps and has suitable amount of fatty acids specific polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa). it has been reported that, a high dietary consumption of marine n-3 fatty acids may prevent the development of atherosclerosis and thrombosis. the fatty acids pr...

Background Background: The fatty acid composition of the sperm membrane changes drastically during spermatogenesis and may be key to its function. Previous data has shown that intake of long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids can change the fatty acid composition of tissues, including testes and sperm. However, whether these changes in composition translate into changes in semen quality or male...

Background & Aim:Armenian cucumber (Cucumis melo var. flexuosus) is one of the varieties of Cucurbitaceae family that is freshly consumed in Iran, while due to the presence of useful fatty acids and minerals, it can play a special role in the health diet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative of fatty acids in the seeds of Armenian cucu...

An experiment was conducted to compare the effect of corn-soybean meal finisher (29-42d) diets containing flaxseeds (rolled or extruded) on pellet quality, performance, n-3 fatty acids (FA) and oxidative stability of meat in broiler chickens. Seven pelleted diets were provided in a 3×2 factorial arrangement with three flaxseed levels (5, 10, and 15%) and two processing methods (rolled or extrud...
