The visceral storage fat and liver of patin catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) are normally discarded, which incurs cost and can cause environmental pollution. However, these may be potential sources to extract fish oil. The proximate and fatty acid compositions of liver and fatty tissue of patin catfish were investigated to evaluate the suitability of these by-products for extracting fish o...

In this study fatty acid contents, because of the importance in human’s life, and their seasonal variations of a dominant bivalve of Haleh Creek were determined for the first time. Fatty acid identification was done by GC-MS (Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry) method. After collecting and dissecting the species from the shells, samples weighed and frozen for further experiments. All the samp...

background: the frequency of sonographic report of liver fat infiltration in asymptomatic person is increasing. the aim of this study was evaluation of liver function and detection of frequency of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in asymptomatic persons with fatty liver in sonographic examinations. materials and methods: seventy six patients with fatty liver in sonographic examination ...

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: The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is higher in patients with psoriasis than in the normal population. Serum leptin levels are higher in patients with psoriasis and in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver. The purpose of this study was to determine the serum levels of leptin in psoriatic patients with and without non-alcoholic fatty liver.<span...

background nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has become a worldwide challenge. liver biopsy remains the single most reliable approach to determine the severity of this disease. as patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease require close follow-up, performing this invasive method repeatedly seems impractical; therefore, designing a noninvasive system to follow up patients has become a common ...

background: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is increasingly a common disease which is created by the accumulation of fat in the liver. about 20% of adults and 5% of children suffer from this disease. in some studies, half of obese children had fatty liver disease and approximately 90% of the patients with fatty liver were obese. the aim of this study was to evaluate fatty liver diseas...
