Impaired wound healing is a well-documented complication in diabetes mellitus. With respect to the mechanism involved in impairment of wound healing in diabetic subjects and also the biological effects of fish oil and ω-3 fatty acids, in this study it was tried to examine whether fish oil-rich diet accelerates wound healing in diabetic rats or not? The adult male rats were divided into six gr...

Using a lattice model for water-oil-amphiphile mixtures, we examine the interfaces between the water-rich, oil-rich and disordered phases in the mean-field and Bethe approximations. By calculating the surface tensions between these phases along their coexistence triple line, we find that the disordered phase wets the water-oil interface when it is an ordinary disordered fluid but not when it is...

The effects of two strictly controlled diets, one rich in complex carbohydrates, the other rich in olive oil, on serum lipids were studied in healthy men and women. Serum cholesterol levels fell on average by 0.44 mmol/l in the carbohydrate group and 0.46 mmol/l in the olive oil group. HDL cholesterol levels fell by 0.19 mmol/l in the carbohydrate group and rose by 0.03 mmol/l in the olive oil ...

lipid rich carcinoma is rare in dog and women and is characterized by cells that have an abundant foamy cytoplasm. a 10 year old, mix breed female dog suffered two subcutaneous masses in ventral abdomen was referred to surgery department of veterinary hospital of ahvaz shahid chamran university. surgical excision and microscopic examination of masses were done. after grading by elston and ellis...

In this study, we measured the composition and free radical scavenging activity of several species of nuts, namely, Torreya grandis, Carya cathayensis,and Myrica rubra. The nut kernels of the aforementioned species are rich in fatty acids, particularly in unsaturated fatty acids, and have 51% oil content. T. grandis and C. cathayensis are mostly produced in ZheJiang province. The trace elements...

the composition of the essential oil from the stalks and flowers of rheum ribes l., growing in iran, were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gc-ms. thirty constituents representing 93.84% of rheum oil were identified.  the oil was found to be rich in hydrocarbons especially long-chain n-alkanes (80.81%). the most abundant components in the oil included tricosane (26.29%), heneicosan...

Rats were fed a semi-purified diet supplemented either with a linoleic acid-rich oil (safflower oil) or with an ƒ¿-linolenic acid-rich oil (perilla oil) from weanling to 7 weeks of age. Rats fed a conventional diet were also used as controls. Ascites tumor cells were injected intravenously into these rats and the numbers of metastatic foci on the pulmonary surface were determined macroscopicall...

the essential oils of fresh fruits and terminal branches with adherent leaves of cupressus sempervirens l. and c. horizentalis mill., growing in iran, were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. the oils were also screened for bacteriostatic and fungistatic activities. thirteen and ten components were identified in the essential oils of c. sempervirens and c. horizentalis, respective...
