چکیده

The fatty acid composition of untreated alloxan-diabetic and normal rat retinal tissue was compared and the relative abundance of endothelial and mural cells in the retinal capillaries was estimated. Arachidonate and docosahexaenoate were decreased in diabetic retinal tissue; linoleate was increased. The changes observed indicate that insulin is required to maintain a normal rate of polyenoic fatty acid synthesis in retinal tissue. No selective loss of mural cells from the retinal capillaries could be found.

Effect of Gamma Irradiation on Fatty Acid Composition of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Fillets

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of low-dose gamma irradiation (0, 1, 3 and 5 kGy) on fatty acid composition of Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillet. Among all of the fatty acids, oleic acid (C18:1) (with mean 33.50±3.02 g/100 g fatty acids) and myristoleic acid (C14:1) (with mean 0.41±0.26 g/100 g fatty acids) were the most predominant and the lowest fatty acids in ...

Effect of black cumin oil (Nigella sativa) on the growth performance, body composition and fatty acid profile of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

            In this study, rainbow trout were fed for a total of 144 days with different feed mixes containing 0.00%, 0.10%, 0.40%, 0.70%, 1.00% and 1.30% black cumin oil. The effect of black cumin oil on the growth performance, feed content and fatty acid composition of rainbow trout was researched. The starting weight of fish in the experimental group was approximately 60 gr., which increased...
