conclusions further investigations are needed about favorable composition of unsaturated fatty acids and flavonoid content of leaves of s. paradoxa. in addition, due to high phenolic content of the leaves, s. paradoxa is a promising source of natural antioxidants and may play good antidiabetic activity. results the amount of total phenolic compounds was higher in leaves than roots. besides, roo...

Background: Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) belongs to Anacardiaceae family. The dried and powdered fruits are used as a food flavoring and medicinal plant. Objective: In this study, variability of fatty acid composition in some wild sumac fruits were investigated. Method: The samples were collected from their natural origins in central parts of Iran; Isfahan and Markazi province in the September to...

diet as a part of lifestyle plays a pivotal role in the development of metabolic syndrome and its consequences. fatty acid composition as a part of dietary intake affects blood fatty acid concentrations, insulin sensitivity and different metabolic pathways associated with the occurrence and consequences of the metabolic syndrome. the aim of this review is to evaluate the effects of dietary fatt...

The aim of this study was to obtain a basic knowledge of the fatty acid compositions and consequently, determination of diet for Turbo coronatus by means of fatty acids biomarkers. Samples were collected during a year (April, July, October 2007 and February 2008) in coastal areas of Chabahar Bay in Oman Sea. Biomarker fatty acids revealed that diet of Turbo coronatus included phytoplankton, zoo...

Anti-Pasteurella pestis factor (APF) inhibited bacterial growth, but there was no evidence that APF from either mouse or guinea pig or selected fatty acids physically disrupted the cell wall. The fatty acids selected were representative of those found in APF. APF inhibited oxidation of beta-d-glucose but not oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate, whereas fatty acids inhibited the oxidation of glucos...

The anti-hepatic cancer effects of three free polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic, alpha-linolenic, and gamma-linolenic acids) dissolved in an oily lymphographic agent, Lipiodol Ultra-Fluid (Lipiodol), following intrahepatic arterial administration were examined using a rabbit liver cancer model, VX-2. The tumor was inoculated into the subcapsular parenchyma of the liver of rabbits, and Lipio...

introduction the common isoform of fatty acids in animal and herbal lipids are cis fatty acids, however in some sources such as milk and meat of ruminant, the trans fatty acids are more abundant as compared to the plant lipids. the trans fatty acids are very important because they increase the cardiovascular and heart attack. the heart disorders were increased by enhancing the concentration of ...

the aim of this work was to analyze the fatty acid profile in persian gulf shrimp, metapenaeus affinis that is one of the edible and well-known shrimps and has suitable amount of fatty acids specific polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa). it has been reported that, a high dietary consumption of marine n-3 fatty acids may prevent the development of atherosclerosis and thrombosis. the fatty acids pr...

We report unusually high concentrations of free fatty acids and glycerol in sera of patients with adult-onset diabetes, and the accompanying alterations in creatine kinase isoenzyme MM patterns associated with such patients. The serum samples with increased free fatty acids also showed increased electrophoretic movement of the MM isoenzyme on cellulose acetate membranes. Fatty acid concentratio...
