Background Background: The fatty acid composition of the sperm membrane changes drastically during spermatogenesis and may be key to its function. Previous data has shown that intake of long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids can change the fatty acid composition of tissues, including testes and sperm. However, whether these changes in composition translate into changes in semen quality or male...

this study was carried out in order to evaluate the changes of nitrogen, phosphor and potassium uptake by wheat and remaining of them in soil under foliar application of leonardite and foliar application of n and k. the experiment was conducted in gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2013- 2014. the experiment was laid out a using split-plot arrangement based ...

arginine (arg) requirements of male broilers (ross 308) reared at high altitude (2100 mabove sea level) during the 1-to 3-week period was estimated in a graded supplementationmethod, in which six diets (230 g kg-1 cp and 3200 kcal me kg-1) with arg increments of1.25 g kg-1 were applied to four pens of fifteen birds each. dietary arg content of theexperimental groups ranged from 10 g kg-1 (80% o...

background & aim: ocimum basilicum l. is belong to the lamiaceae family which is cultivated as a culinary, industrial and medicinal plants in some countries from thousands years ago. the seed of this plant is rich in poly un-saturated fatty acids (pufa) and produced a large amount of mucilage. experimental: the oil of seed was extracted separately and converted to fatty acids methyl esters...

in this study nine new varieties of sunflower seeds were obtained and subjected to oil extraction using soxhlet apparatus. the extracted oil was analyzed for fatty acid composition and phosphorus content to measure the phospholipid concentration. the results indicated that armavirski variety had the highest oil content. the fatty acid composition of the extracted oils indicated that armavirski ...

background: endometriosis is a common chronic inflammation causing major problems including infertility. the role of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as their potential anti-inflammatory effects in endometriosis needs to be further explored. the objective of this study was to compare serum phospholipid fatty acid profile in endometriosis patients with controls, and to explore the correlation of ...

serum fatty acids on 30 healthy lranian women were detemined by a gas chromatographic method. oleic and stearic acids were used as standards. the mean values were myristic acid 5. 7% , palmitic acid 43% , palmitoleic acid 5.3% , stearic acid 8% , oleic acid 21. 3% and linleic acid 16.4% of total fatty acid serum contents.

background: the modern dairy cows, due to intensive selection for higher milk production during past decades, have become more resistant to insulin. accompanied with dmi depression in per parturient dairy cow, insulin resistance may lead to a massive release of non-esterified fatty acids (nefa) to bloodstream which might act as a start point for development of other diseases. objectives: the pu...

modifications in fat and fatty acid composition of silver carp that take place at each stage of canning process (precooking and sterilization) were evaluated. results showed, precooking led to decrease total fat and increase conjugated dines. the amounts of free fatty acids and thiobarbituric acids had no changed during precooking but these compounds like conjugated dine were increased after st...
