Rats conditioned to eating fixed-size meals (meals at 7 AM and 7 PM), consuming diets rich in palm oil or sunflower seed oil, were used to study the metabolism of chylomicrons and hepatic very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) as a function of time after meal consumption. Rats fed a palm oil diet had higher serum triacylglycerol levels at 7 AM, before the meal (1.96 +/- 0.25 mM vs. 1.09 +/- 0.09 ...

BACKGROUND Oral iodized poppy seed oil is an appropriate measure for controlling iodine deficiency in areas where iodized salt is not yet available. However, a more effective and cheaper iodized oil preparation is needed. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of iodized peanut oil with that of iodized poppy seed oil. DESIGN Schoolchildren aged 8-10 y were supplemented ...

in in order to investigating changes range of oil yield and percentage attention to plant density on three varieties of black seed, an experiment was conducted in the form of factorial based on completely randomized block designs (rcbd) with 4 replications in saat-loui agricultural station of west azerbaijan province. in this research, the first factor (a) contained two levels 20 and 40 cm inte...

The main objective of the current work was to evaluate the suitability of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) for the recovery of oil from papaya seed as compared to conventional extraction techniques (i.e., Soxhlet extraction (SXE) and solvent extraction (SE)). In the present study, the recovery yield, fatty acid composition and triacylglycerol profile of papaya seed oil obtained from differe...

Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster)-seed oil contains two Delta5 unsaturated polymethylene interrupted fatty acids (all cis-5,9, 12-18:3 and all cis-5,11,14-20:3 acids) one of which resembles eicosapentaenoic acid. The goal of the present study was to test whether maritime pine-seed oil consumption affects HDL and apolipoprotein (Apo) A-I levels as well as the ability of serum to promote efflux of c...

This experiment was lay out in order to evaluate the effects of different biofertilizers on seed yield, protein and oil of rapeseed in Iran. The experiment was a factorial design with three replications. Treatments were four nitrogen biofrtilizers (control (N1), Nitroksin (N2), Azotobacter (N3) and Supernitroplat (N4)) and three phosphate biofrtilizer...

this study was performed to investigate the effect of different levels of irrigation water applied in tape drip irrigation on yield, seed yield components, oil yield, seed oil percent, and seed water use efficiency (wue) of two canola varieties in behbahan agriculture research station in 2009 and 2010 seasons. the experiment was performed in split plots as a randomized complete block design wit...

The present study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of Zanthoxylum bungeanum seed oil (Z. seed oil) to alleviate airway inflammation in asthmatic mice. The asthmatic mice were treated with vehicle, ovalbumin (OVA), or OVA + Z. seed oil (2 g/kg) for between 24 h and 14 days. Following treatment, inflammatory cell infiltration and pulmonary tissue damage were assessed by hematoxylin a...

Cucurbita maxima (CM) seed oil is commonly used in Indian folk medicine to treat various ailments. We have investigated the effect of CM seed oil on memory impairment induced by scopolamine in rats. Male adult Wistar rats were administered scopolamine 1 mg/kg body weight, i.p. or 1.25 mg/kg body weight, s.c. to induce memory impairment. The nootropic agent piracetam 100 mg/kg body weight, i.p. ...
