Squids belong to the cephalopod family, which composes more than 5% of the total annual fishing volume of southern Iran as by- products; however, these do not have significant usage in Iran. This product was studied to extract the high-value products, i.e. marine oils rich in unsaturated multiple-band fatty acids from 50kg squid (Loligo loligo) obtained from Chabahar fishing port and transferre...

Triglyceride synthesis by hepatocytes is currently thought to be the rate-limiting step for lipoprotein formation. In order to determine whether triglyceride and cholesteryl ester syntheses in hepatocytes are sensitive to physiological fluctuations of serum fatty acids, the fatty acid dependence of these pathways was examined. Uptake of various fatty acids and incorporation into triglyceride an...

Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease and free fatty acids, as signaling molecules, can play a crucial role in the development of it. Different free fatty acids, through various cell membrane receptors, induce different effects on metabolic pathways and thereby affect insulin sensitivity. Simvastatin is a cholesterol decreasing drug prescrib...

VEGETABLE oils lower the serum cholesterol level in man, and this effect is probably due to their content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, as has been demonstrated by Kinsell and co-workers, Ahrens and co-workers, Malmros and Wigand, and others. Separation of total fatty acids in serum has been performed in normal subjects and patients with demonstrated atherosclerosis by Hammond and Lundberg, S...

BACKGROUND Little is known about risk factors for sudden cardiac death in hemodialysis patients during the high-risk first year of dialysis. We therefore undertook to identify such risk factors in a nationally representative cohort and were able to include baseline levels of blood fatty acids, some of which influence arrhythmogenicity and sudden cardiac death risk. DESIGN The study cohort inc...

Intestinal helminth infections may reduce nutrient availability and thereby impair cognitive growth and other functions. Certain nutrients such as fatty acids may also modulate inflammation and the immune response and, thus, the severity of helminth infection. Fatty acid status may, therefore, both be affected by and affect helminth infection. Rural school-children in South Africa with a 35% he...

the aim of this study was to determine the fatty acid and mineral composition in bone of 3 pelagic fish: gold stripe sardine (sardinella gibbosa), anchovy kilka (clupeonella engrauliformis) and indian anchovy (stolephorus indicus). fatty acid profiles showed that total saturated fatty acid have no significant differences in 3 species. the content of total mono saturated fatty acids in anchovy k...

Background Background: The fatty acid composition of the sperm membrane changes drastically during spermatogenesis and may be key to its function. Previous data has shown that intake of long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids can change the fatty acid composition of tissues, including testes and sperm. However, whether these changes in composition translate into changes in semen quality or male...
