Introduction: Gastric cancer is the fourth common cancer and the second leading cause of death from cancer worldwide. Omega fatty acids are a group of non-saturated fatty acids of long chains derive from linolenic, linoleic and oleic fatty acids. The current study aimed at examining the possible effects of oral administration of omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids on gastric cancer cell apoptosis in...

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to have both anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory effects through inducing the expression and production of adipokines. Adipokines such as apelin, have been observed to play a protective role in the incidence and progression of CVD. The aim of this study was to assess the ...

The anecdote "we are what we eat" in line with the doctrine of Hypocrates in 400 BC “Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food” are vividly portray the importance of daily regimen in human health and body well-functioning. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests the relative intake of specific nutrients can have a profound effect on physiology of individuals...

polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) particularly ω-3 pufas showed great assure in prevention of cardiovascular diseases (cvd). the evidence for cv benefits of pufa comes from eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) with or without docosahexaenoic acid (dha) in primary prevention, after myocardial infarction (mi), with heart failure (hf). the epidemiologic studies and trials showing the benefits of pufa, sp...

ôbjective: ït has been shown that serum and red blood cells’ level of ômega-3 fatty acids are low in people with schizophrenia. many studies have, therefore, attempted to explore the beneficial effects of these substances in the management of schizophrenia. however, the outcomes of the previous studies have not been clear cut. the present study is an attempt to retest this hypothesis by elimina...

objective(s): occludin is essential for proper assembly of tight junctions (tjs) which regulate paracellular endothelial permeability. omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 pufa) protect endothelial barrier function against injury. materials and methods: we examined anti-inflammatory effect of ω-3 pufa intake (30 mg/kg/day for 10 days) on expression and location of occludin in the aorta of a...

in this study, the effects of incorporating grape seed powder (gsp) on flour physicochemical properties i.e. particle size, crude protein, fiber, wet gluten and gluten quality (zeleny test), and dough rheological properties were investigated. increasing incorporation levels of gsp from 5 to 25% (w/w flour basis) led to an increase in the amount of fat, total phenol, and total dietary fiber; whe...
