The use of poly unsaturated fatty acids has pronounced significant effects on the efficiency of male reproductive system. Poly unsaturated fatty acids like docosahexaenoic acid, omega 3, Omega 6, oleic and linolinic acid are rich in diets like flaxseed oil, soybean oil, fish oil, sunflower oil. These diets have the capability to increase serum testosterone level, fertility rate, ejaculation per...

Several cis-unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic, linolenic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids added directly to intact human platelets greatly enhance protein kinase C activation as judged by the phosphorylation of its specific endogenous substrate, a 47-kDa protein. This enhancement absolutely requires the presence of a membrane-permeant diacylglycerol, 1,2-dioctanoylglyc...

Giardia lamblia trophozoites were killed in vitro by 1% fresh human milk in the presence of bile. A similar effect was achieved in the absence of bile with milk which had been stored for at least 24 h at 6 degrees C. This killing activity was found to be caused by unsaturated fatty acids. Depending on their chain length and the number of double bonds, the concentrations of unsaturated fatty aci...

present study was conducted to find the variations in fatty acid profile between muscle and liver of male and female of schizothorax zarudnyi. totally, 18 fatty acids of saturated, mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids were found in both male and female of s. zarudnyi. palmitic acid (c16:0), palmitoleic acid (c16:1) and docosahexaenoic acid (c22:0) were the most abundant fatty acids...

world consumption of butter has declined over the last decades partly due to its physical limitations and partly due to its poor nutritionalproperties. in this study, the effect of hazelnut addition on the properties of butter, was evaluated taking into account that hazelnut is a source of unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants. powdered hazelnut was added to butter at 3 levels (10, 20 and 30...

background: liver fatty acid-binding protein (l-fabp) is the main cytosolic binding site for long chain fatty acids in hepatocytes. fabps enhance the uptake of fatty acids into the cell by increasing their concentration due to decreasing concentration of unbound fatty acids inside the cell. objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary unsaturated to saturated fatty a...

The relative amounts of unsaturated fatty acids in the serum lipids of 14 patients who have undergone small bowel resection have been investigated. These results are compared with those from control subjects and also from patients suffering from cancer of the oesophagus. Both groups of patients showed patterns of unsaturated fatty acids suggesting essential fatty acid deficiency. In the resecti...

Some, but not all, studies have suggested that high-fat diets promote colon carcinogenesis, possibly by stimulating the proliferative activity of colonic epithelium. Both the increase in colonic excretion of bile salts and of fatty acids that occur with an increase in fat ingestion have been implicated as stimuli of epithelial proliferative activity. In this study, we examined the role of activ...

Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract of the leaves of Artocarpus altilis yielded βsitosterol (1), unsaturated triglycerides (2), squalene (3), polyprenol (4), lutein (5) and unsaturated fatty acids. The structures of 1-5 were identified by comparison of their 1 H and/or 13 C NMR data with those reported in the literature. Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract of...

In this study, seasonal variations in the fatty acid profiles of the liver and muscle of Squalius cephalus from Tödürge Lake were determined by Gas Chromatography (GC). C22:6 n-3, C20:5 n-3, C20:4 n-6, C18:1 n-9, C18:1 n-7, C16:1 n-7, C18:0 and C16:0 were the principal fatty acids showing the highest levels in the muscle and liver of Squalius cephalus in all seasons. Although C22:6 n-3, which i...
