background: the modern dairy cows, due to intensive selection for higher milk production during past decades, have become more resistant to insulin. accompanied with dmi depression in per parturient dairy cow, insulin resistance may lead to a massive release of non-esterified fatty acids (nefa) to bloodstream which might act as a start point for development of other diseases. objectives: the pu...

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...

Evaluation of four safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes for oil content and fatty acidcomposition showed that oil content varied from 22.16 to 34.39% and the highest seed oilcontent was obtained from Isfahan14 genotype (34.39%, respectively). Among those fatty acidswere detected, linoleic acid (75.81- 77.86%) was the predominant fatty acid followed by oleic(12.57–13.75%), palmitic (6.0...

   Two omega-3 fatty acids including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are essential for the physiologic function of neuronal cell membrane. Normal function of neuronal cell membrane requires appropriate composition of fatty in its structure. Present study was designed to compare the effect of short-term and long-term pretreatment with omega-3 fatty acids on scopolamine...

background and objectives: probiotic bacteria are able to absorb fatty acids present in the culture medium and convert them into intracellular fatty acids, which may affect the physicochemical properties of probiotics. subsequently, changing the composition of cellular fatty acids of probiotics improves the electron acceptance capacity of these microorganisms, and results in an increased adhesi...

Pistachio nut has high nutritional value. The fat and protein are the common part of pistachio. Major part (about 88%) of the fat content of pistachio includes unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are known to have positive effects on human health like preventing to heart diseases. This research has evaluated protein, fat and fatty acids content of some commercial pistachio cultivar...

for determining the fatty acid characteristics and biodiesel quality of ethiopian jatropha provenances, the study was conducted in five regions namely southern nation nationalities peoples regional state (snnprs), amhara region, tigria region, oromia region and benishangul gumuz regions, where physic nut is found abundantly. for each region, representative sampling sites were selected following...

patients and methods eighty-three patients with diagnosis of nafld, and 93 healthy subjects were included in the study. tetra arms-pcr was designed to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms. results a significant difference was found between nafld and control group regarding the rs266729 polymorphism (χ2 = 7.35, p = 0.025). the rs266729 polymorphism increased the risk of nafld in codominant (cc...
