To investigate whether the oxidative status of an 18:3(n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-enriched diet could modulate the growth of chemically induced rat mammary tumors, three independent experiments were performed. Experiments I and II examined the variation of tumor growth by addition of antioxidant (vitamin E) or a prooxidant system (sodium ascorbate/2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone) to a 1...

In vitro studies have suggested that isolated gut bacteria are able to metabolize PUFA into CLA (conjugated linoleic acids) and CLnA (conjugated linolenic acids). However, the bioavailability of fatty acid metabolites produced in vivo by the gut microbes remains to be studied. Therefore, we measured intestinal concentration and plasma accumulation of bacterial metabolites produced from dietary ...

The present study investigated whether enrichment of the pig maternal diet with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) affects the fatty-acid composition of female piglets via enhancing of expression of the lipogenic enzymes Δ5-desaturase (Δ5d) and Δ6-desaturase (Δ6d). The sows (50% Landrace × 50% Large White) were fed a control diet or one of the experimental diets starting at day 45 in gestat...

High fat and/or carbohydrate intake are associated with an elevated risk for obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The harmful effects of a high fat diet could be different, depending on dietary fat quality. In fact, high fat diets rich in unsaturated fatty acids are considered less deleterious for human health than those rich in saturated fat. In our previo...

The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of a single high-fat meal with different fat quality on circulating inflammatory markers and gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to elucidate the role of fat quality on postprandial inflammation. A postprandial study with fourteen healthy females consuming three test meals with different fat quality was performed. T...

The prototype resistive plate chambers (RPCs) for the BESIII spectrometer were constructed by using resistive electrodes made from a special type of phenolic paper laminates developed by us. The surface quality of these laminates is superior to other bakelite plates that have been used to construct RPCs elsewhere. A method for adjusting the resistivety of these laminates was also developed. Ext...

In order to examine the influence of plant growth stimulating bacteria, which belong genus Streptomices sp., Paenibacillus sp. and Hymenibacter on yield seed quality linseed black cumin, as well morphological characteristics these plants, a two-year field experiments were conducted. Soil treatment with mixed culture bacteria different concentrations was applied during sowing plants. Before sowi...

Single gap Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) is one of the very popular gaseous detectors used in high-energy physics experiments nowadays. It a fast detector having low cost fabrication. The RPCs are usually built using glass or bakelite plates high resistivity $\sim~10^{10}-10^{11}$ $\Omega$~cm. Bakelite generally fabricated with linseed oil coating inside to make inner electrode surface smoother...

Abstract Linseed oil is appreciated for its high level of linolenic acid. In order to avoid oxidation, the precious storage lipids are protected in seeds by lignans, tocopherols, and cyclo‐lino peptides. Oxidation specific peptides can be attributed formation a bitter off‐taste cold pressed linseed oils. A complete degradation tocopherols intact CLO, ‐M, ‐N, ‐L, ‐B oxidized forms observed with ...
