Insulin resistance and adiposity induced by a long-term sucrose-rich diet (SRD) in rats could be reversed by fish oil (FO). Regulation of plasma leptin and adiponectin levels, as well as their gene expression, by FO might be implicated in these findings. This study was designed to evaluate the long-term regulation of leptin and adiponectin by dietary FO in a dietary model of insulin resistance ...

This study evaluated the effect of the consumption of different levels and sources of lipids on metabolic parameters of Wistar rats. Animals were fed with high-fat diet (HFD) containing 20% of lard for 12 weeks to cause metabolic obesity. Subsequently, the animals were divided into six groups and were fed diets with lipid concentrations of 5% or 20% of lard (LD), soybean oil (SO) or fish oil (F...

Recently, fractional order systems (FOS) have attractedmore andmore attention in various fields. But the control design techniques available for the FOS suffer from the lack of direct systematic approaches. In this paper, we focus on a given type of simple model of FOS. A fractional order [proportional derivative] (FO-[PD]) controller is proposed for this class of FOS, and a practical and syste...

The Gulf of Maine, USA is home to four colonial co-nesting tern species: Least Tern (Sternula antillarum), Common (Sterna hirundo), Arctic paradisaea), and the federally endangered Roseate dougallii). Over three decades visual observations chick provisioning were compiled for a comparative dietary study in region, including first detailed descriptions diets. Three prey groups comprised majority...

This study was performed to determine the effect of multilayered fish oil (FO) emulsion without or with trans-cinnamaldehyde on pork patties. Multilayered FO (-primary, -secondary, -tertiary) emulsions were prepared using a layer-by-layer deposition technique with Tween 20, chitosan, and low methoxyl pectin, and were added to pork patties at the same concentration. Pork patties were then stored...

The present study demonstrates that immunization with a low dose of unmodified live myeloma tumor cells (FO) elicited tumor-specific immunity. BALB/c mice were vaccinated with 104 live dendritic cells (DC)-FO fusion cells or 103 live FO cells. 80% of vaccinated mice survived from the later challenge with 1x106 FO cells, whereas all control mice developed tumors. Additionally, vaccination with l...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of flaxseed oil (FO) and sesame seed oil (SO) on lowering cholesterol and biomarkers of bone metabolism in Wistar rats as an ovariectomized (OVX) rat model. Thirty-two 90-day-old female Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups: sham-operated (sham) +control diet, ovx + control diet, ovx + 10% (FO), and ovx + 10% (SO). After 4 we...

BACKGROUND To determine the effects of supplemental fish oil (FO) on resting metabolic rate (RMR), body composition, and cortisol production in healthy adults. METHODS A total of 44 men and women (34 ± 13y, mean+SD) participated in the study. All testing was performed first thing in the morning following an overnight fast. Baseline measurements of RMR were measured using indirect calorimetry ...
