our objective was to examine the effect of inclusion of dried de-oiled savory (satureja khuzistanica; dds) on production performance and fatty acids composition of longissimus muscle (lm) of finishing lambs. 30 farhani lambs with average body weight of 33.6±1.4 kg were used. the lambs were randomly divided into five groups and individually fed with the experimental diets. in the experimental di...

Unsaturated fatty acids are thought to pi event thrombotic and arteriosclerotic disease, whereas saturated fatty acids are thought to increase the incidence of these disorders. However, the effects of these diets on megakaryocytes and platelets are not welll understood. We compared the effects of diets enriched with 8.4% olive oil, 8.4% hydrogenated palm oil, or 10.2% to-3 fatty acid ethyl este...

In order to study the response of a poorly differentiated tumor to nutritional manipulation, the Yoshida ascites hepatoma (AH 130) was grown in rats fed an essential fatty acid (EFA)-deficient diet and in rats fed a control diet. Hepatomas, livers, and blood plasma from host rats and normal rats were studied as to the effects of EFA deficiency on the lipid composition. Normal rats fed an EFA-de...

paste of big head carp fish was prepared based on three formulas and was selected base on organoleptic properties test results. the product was then divided into three portions of: sample 1 (control), sample 2 (containing 0.01% butylated hydroxy anisole bha antioxidant) and sample 3 (containing 0.02% antioxidant bha). to determine the shelf life, the samples were frozen and kept in cold storage...

Control and diabetic rats were fed on semi-purified high-fat diets providing a polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratio (P/S) of 1.0 or 0.25, to examine the effect of diet on the fatty acid composition of major phospholipids of the adipocyte plasma membrane. Feeding the high-P/S diet (P/S = 1.0) compared with the low-P/S diet (P/S = 0.25) increased the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids i...

BACKGROUND We have previously reported that rheumatoid arthritis patients, who adopted a modified Cretan Mediterranean diet, obtained a reduction in disease activity and an improvement in physical function and vitality. This shift in diet is likely to result in an altered intake of fatty acids. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to examine the dietary intake of fatty acids, as we...
