The influence of fatty acid composition and tocopherol on cholesterol oxidation in fish, flax, sunflower, and palm oil to which cholesterol was added were examined during storage and heating. The contents of cholesterol oxides in all oils increased (p < 0.05) during storage and heating. Total cholesterol oxides in fish oil were higher (p < 0.05) than that in vegetable oils. Addition of R-tocoph...

We have shown that dietary fish oil is protective against experimentally induced colon cancer, and the protective effect is enhanced by coadministration of pectin. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. We hypothesized that fish oil with butyrate, a pectin fermentation product, protects against colon cancer initiation by decreasing cell proliferation and increasing d...

BACKGROUND Vasomotor reactivity may contribute to the pathophysiology of ischemic injury. The atherosclerotic vessel may be particularly susceptible to vasoconstriction because of the damaged endothelial layer with resultant loss of vasodilatory factors. While dietary omega 3 fatty acids have been proposed to protect against vascular occlusion, it is not clear to what extent this results from a...

the purpose of this study is to produce an oil-in-water nano-emulsion by ultrasonication. casein combined with inulin used as continuous phase, while dispersed phase consisted of fish oil. the size of the nano-emulsion and the ph of nano-emulsion were characterized. ultrasound has been used for preparing emulsion by 24 khz intensity for 120 seconds. prepared nano-emulsion was investigated by pa...

this study was designed to determine the effects of dietary replacement of fish oil with canola oil ongrowth performance, feed efficiency of body and economic indices of experimental diets of juvenilecommon carp (cyprinus carpio). during the experiment 270 juvenile fish with an average initialweight of 16.24 ± 0.10g were randomly distributed in 18 well aerated cylindrical polyethylene tanks(15 ...

The effects of dietary supplementation with fat of different fatty acid profile and chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) on the fatty acid composition of serum and heart lipids were analysed. Adult male Wistar rats were fed a standard non-fat diet enriched with 10 % of lard, fish oil (n-3 PUFA) or maize oil (n-6 PUFA) for 10 weeks. After 4 weeks on the diets, each group was divided in two subgrou...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the protective effect of fish oil against colon carcinogenesis is due to decreased proliferation, increased differentiation and/or increased apoptosis. Male Sprague Dawley rats (n = 260) were fed one of two oils (corn or fish) and two fibers (pectin or cellulose), plus or minus the carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM). Rats were killed at wk 18 (n = 8...

An experiment was conducted in aquaria with channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) to determine the efficacy of augmenting fillets with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n−3 HUFA) by feeding diets amended with products containing high levels of these nutrients. Refined menhaden fish oil at 1.5% of diet supplied the n−3 HUFA. CLAwas used at dietary levels ...

To investigate the influence of different dietary fats on lipids and anti-cardiolipin antibody levels, autoimmune NZB/W F1 mice were fed on diets containing 200 g dietary fat as palm oil, lard-soyabean oil (1:1, w/w), soyabean oil, rapeseed oil or fish oil/kg. In addition, each dietary fat group was divided into an early-feeding group with feeding from 2 months of age, and a late-feeding group ...

Dietary fat plays a major role in obesity, lipid metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases. To determine whether the intake of different types of dietary fats affect the muscle fiber types that govern the metabolic and contractile properties of the skeletal muscle, we fed male Wistar rats with a 15% fat diet derived from different fat sources. Diets composed of soybean oil (n-6 polyunsaturated fa...
