The relationship between gut microbiota and obesity is well documented in humans animal models. Dietary factors can change the intestinal composition influence development. However, knowledge of how diet, metabolism, interact modulate energy metabolism development still limited. Epidemiological studies show a link consuming dietary proteins fats from specific sources obesity. Animal confirm tha...

1The development of food-based dietary guidelines for prevention of cardiovascular diseases requires knowledge of the contribution of common foods to SFA and PUFA intake. We systematically reviewed available data from European countries on population intakes and dietary sources of total fat, SFA, and PUFA. Data from national dietary surveys or population studies published >1995 were searched th...

lmmunocompetence can be modified by dietary means. Quality and quantity of fat have been associatedwith differ ences in tumor induction and immunological response in ani mals, and epidemiobogical observations have indicated that certain dietary lipids are associated in some obscure way with changes in tumor incidence in human populations. Data pre sented at this Workshop indicate that dietary f...

Ruminant milk fat is of unique composition among terrestrial mammals, due to its great diversity of component fatty acids. The diversity arises from the eVects of ruminal biohydrogenation on dietary unsaturated fatty acids and the range of fatty acids synthesized de novo in the mammary gland. Forty to sixty per cent of milk fatty acids are long-chain (predominantly C18) fatty acids derived from...

Global warming and fossil fuel depletion have boosted the search for alternative renewable fuels with a low environmental impact. Biodiesel exhibits many advantages over conventional diesel including possibility of being produced from sources such as waste oils fats. Specifically, animal fats are receiving increased attention an to vegetable biodiesel production. This low-cost feedstock allows ...

This study attempts a holistic approach to past foodways in prehistoric northern Gujarat, India, by considering evidence of food production, distribution, preparation and consumption. We present here the results pilot residue study, integrating lipid starch grain analyses, conducted on 28 ceramic vessels from three Chalcolithic/Harappan settlements (c. 3300–2000 cal. BC) which are discussed lig...
