Even though the toxic effects of lead compounds had been studied over many years, inconsistent results have been obtained about their oxidative stress in the testes of adult rats. Lead acetate (20 mg/kg) alters the histology of testes as well as enhances lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide production in both serum and testes with concomitant reduction in glutathione (GSH) and antioxidant enzyme...

Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is a multipurpose crop with health promoting potential. This study was undertaken to investigate the fatty acid profile and yield of fixed oil of six Egyptian flaxseed cultivars. The selected cultivars with the highest content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (G9 and G10) were assessed for their antidepressant-like effect in rat model of postpartum depres...

Oil (liquids with low surface tension and practically immiscible with water) drops can be dispersed in air if relatively oleophobic particles are available. However, such particles with oil-repellent surfaces cannot simply be prepared by controlling the particle surface chemistry alone. Herein the preparation of oil-in-air materials (oil marbles, dry oils) by changing the wetting behavior of pa...

Flaxseed oil has various benefits over multiple chronic diseases in humans and animals. Besides, flaxseed shown the potential to avert lipid disorders. However, researches have indicated that lower serum cholesterol animals human beings can be attributed whole oil. Therefore, this study aimed at determining effect of different levels on biochemical changes hypercholesterolemic rats. In study, (...

background and objective: edible, biodegradable films, by acting as barriers to control the transfer of moisture, oxygen, lipids, and flavours, can prevent quality deterioration and increase the shelf life of food products. on the other hand, regarding edible film capacity in transferring food additives, extending shelf-life of food products could be considered. so by adding antimicrobial-antio...

We report a new methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) based route to growing a Janus silica film at the oil–water interface, which upon drying shows anisotropic wetting by water on its two surfaces. The contact angle of water on the surface grown in contact with the oil-side is found to be 150 , but it is much smaller, 65 , on the side which grew in contact with the aqueous phase. This large difference...

nowadays, cardiovascular diseases are the most important cause of death. one of the reasons of cardiovascular diseases is poor nutrition, such as high intake of saturated fatty acids and low intake of essential and unsaturated fatty acids. among the oilseeds, flaxseed contains high amount of essential fatty acids, tochopherol, fiber and lignans. grape molasses is a traditional food in iran and ...
