To study the acute effect of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6) on the expression of adipocyte determination and differentiation-dependent factor 1 (ADD1) mRNA in pig tissues, weaned, crossbred pigs (28 d of age) were fed with either 10% (on as-fed basis) tallow (high stearic acid), soybean oil (high linoleic acid), or high DHA algal oil for 2 d. The plasma and liver DHA reflected the co...

Metabolic syndrome is often accompanied by development of hepatic steatosis and less frequently by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) leading to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Replacement of corn oil with medium chain triacylglycerols (MCT) in the diets of alcohol-fed rats has been shown to protect against steatosis and alcoholic liver injury. The current study was designed to det...

background: chemical toxins are among the leading causes of liver disorders, inflammation and necrosis in hepatocytes. the aim of this study was to evaluate of protective effect of hydroalcoholic extract from rhizome of zingiber officinale l. (hez) on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic injury in male rat. material and methods: in this experimental studymale wistar rats (n=35, body weight 230-...

In order to investigate the effects of dietary lipid sources on mechanisms involved in lipid deposition, two groups of rainbow trout were fed from first-feeding to the commercial size of 1 kg (for 62 weeks) with two diets differing only by lipid source: 100% fish oil or 100% blend of vegetable oils (55% rapeseed oil, 30% palm oil, 15% linseed oil). The activities and levels of gene expression o...

We previously proposed that oil heated with gluten was suitable for use as a safe oil for weight-loss dieting. In the present paper, the properties of the oil were improved, and the weight-loss effect was compared with that of heated oil. Fresh oil was heated for 10 h at 180 degrees C with or without gluten and filtered using filter paper. A powdered diet (AIN93G; no fat) was mixed with 7 wt% o...
