nitrogen as one of the important nutrients of microalgae has significant affect on the growth and nutrition value of the algae if the changes. in present study the growth and fatty acids content of the different concentration of nitrate (0, 0.62, 1.25, 2.5 and 5 mm from no3) was studied during a 12 day cultivation period of haematococcus sp. and desmodesmus cunaetus. at 22 °c in laboratory cond...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Current available therapies for neonatal hypoxia/ischemia (H/I) brain injury are rather limited. Here, we investigated the effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on brain damage and long-term neurological function after H/I in neonates. METHODS Female rats were treated with or without an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids-enriched diet from the second day of pre...

The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical characteristics of seeds in two cultivated bitter landraces of Lupinus albus and two wild Lupinus angustifolius types in Mediterranean environment (Hatay, southern Turkey). Fat quantity and fatty acid quality were considerably different depending on the genotype. L. albus showed the higher oil content (74.0-85.1 g/kg), saturated fatty acids ...

Although a causal role of genetic alterations in human cancer is well established, it is still unclear whether dietary fat can modulate cancer risk in a predisposed population. Epidemiological studies suggest that diets rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids reduce cancer incidence. To determine the influence of fatty acids on prostate cancer risk in animals with a defined genetic lesion, ...

abstract background: migraine is a primary headache disorder that affects the neurovascular system. recent studies have shown that consumption of some fatty acids such as omega‑3 fatty acids improves migraine symptoms. the aim of the present study is to assess the association between usual intake of fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (epa), docosahexaenoic acid (dha), and saturated fatty...

The effects of the use of essential oil of Rosmarinus officinalis on the chemical quality and fatty acids of fish fillets of Ctenopharyngodon idella were investigated during frozen storage at -18 ºC for 6 months. Fish fillets were divided into three groups the control (C) without rosemary essential, the second group with 0.2 % rosemary essential oil (A) and the third with 0.4 % rosemary essenti...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness among older people. It is important to identify modifiable risk factors which could prevent or slow the progression of this chronic disease. Dietary fatty acid intakes have been investigated in epidemiological studies as it is plausible that individual lipids have properties which modulate cellular damage in ...

To investigate the importance of factors influencing the fatty acid composition, lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in the rat, the effect of 3-thia fatty acids of chain-length ranging from octyl- to hexadecylthioacetic acid were studied. In liver, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), and low density lipoprotein (LDL), the hypolipidemic 3-thia fatty acids, namely C12-S-acetic acid to C14-S-acetic...

Medical plants and their combinations due to the wide range of biologically active substances can influence on various links pathogenetic mechanism development diabetes mellitus its complications. One such is an anidiabetic herbal mixture ( Urtica dioica L. leaf, Rosa majalis fruits, Vaccinium myrtillus Mentha piperita herb Taraxacum officinale roots) with established hypoglycemic, hypolipidemi...

the effect of kaolin on fruit and oil of olive cv. `zard’ was evaluated in a commercial orchard in fasacity, fars province. mature olive trees cv. `zard’ were sprayed with 0, 3 and 6% kaolin after 60 days, 60and 90 days and 60, 90, 120 days after full bloom. results showed that kaolin concentration and sprayingtime had not significant effects on physicochemical parameters but they had significa...
