Background: Mammalian spermatozoa are characterized by a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and the membrane structure of spermatozoa plays a crucial role in fertilization. Moreover, dietary fatty acid (FA) influence sperm FA profiles in several species. This study focused on responses to dietary omega-3 fatty acids and comprehensive fatty acid profiles analysis in men as wel...

a 42-d study was conducted to evaluate the influence of full-fat flaxseed (fs) and canola seed (cs) on broiler performance, fatty acid (fa) profile of meat, and the oxidative stability of meat during frozen storage. a total of 324 one-day old broiler chicks were randomly attributed to 6 experimental groups and fed iso-energetic and isonitrogenous diets as follows, c: control (soybean-corn); cs1...

 The study aims to determine the influence of frying (shallow and deep) with olive, canola and sunflower oil on fatty acid composition of silver carp < /font>. Frying by olive oil and canola oil increased the monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) significantly (p < 0.05) that consequently decreased saturated fatty acids (SFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and ω-3 fatty acids. Frying by sunfl...

the aim followed in this study was to investigate the effects of soybean oil (high in c18:2 n-6, an omega-6 fatty acid) and fish oil (high in epa 20:5 n-3 and dha 22:6 n-3, omega-3 fatty acids) on meat quality and on the fatty acid profiles in goat kids. twenty-four male kids were allocated through stratified randomization and on the basis of body weight (19.43±1.2 kg) into three equal groups. ...

Nutritional value of freshwater mesozooplankton, fatty acid (FA) and amino acid (AA) compositions were determined in the middle of each season for a one-year period from May 2009 to February 2010 in Hanna Dam Lake, Isfahan, Iran. FA and AA composition significantly (P<0.05) varied in relation to the seasonal changes of water quality, phytoplankton and zooplankton community. The content of satur...

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...

Almond oil is used in many cosmetic products as a snack, in confectionery (marzipan, "turrón", nougat), food products (almond milk, ice cream, chocolate), culinary recipes and also cosmetic base. For surveying the effects of almond genotype and growing location on oil percentage of oil seed content and fatty acid of almond, seeds of 6 almond cultivars: Ferragnes, Tuono, Azar, Sahand, Nonpareil ...
