ABSTRACT: Olives belong to the family of olea europaea L. is a popular fruit tree. The fruit and the oil extracted from it is consumed worldwide particularly in the Mediterranean regions. In this study changes in the fatty acid composition of the oil extracted from olive fruit during the course of maturation is investigated. This work is concerned with the best harvesting point when oleic acid ...

the effects of different cooking methods (deep fat frying, boiling and steaming) on lipid content and fatty acid composition of grass carp ( ctenopharyngodon idella ) fillets during chill storage were investigated. fillet samples were cooked and then stored at + 4°c for 4 days. the control and the cooked fillet samples were analyzed for their chemical characteristics. twelve fatty acids were id...

background: despite the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (nash), no treatment has been proven to be effective in these common diseases. although many studies have shown that lifestyle modifications such as increasing physical activities and exercise could be effective in the treatment of these common diseases, the optimal strategy is stil...

since long term dietary fatty acide intake is reflected in the fatty acide composition of  Adipose tissue, this study was aimed to compare the adippose tissue fatty acide profile of angiography documented CAD (test)and non-CAD(control)  patients.the first group were 25 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery in open heart surgery section of Shahid Beheshti hospital of Kerman...

Because fatty acid composition of biliary phospholipids influences cholesterol secretion into bile, we investigated whether replacement of n-1 monounsaturated or n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in biliary phosphatidylcholines reduces supersaturation with cholesterol and prevents precipitation of cholesterol crystals in bile of gallstone patients. Seven patie...

While a wealth of data on the fatty acid composition of mature human milk has been published, limited information is available on the quantities of individual fatty acids supplied to the suckling infant with maternal milk, through the whole first year of life. Our aim was to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the fatty acid composition of human milk from Italian mothers, throughout exten...

abstract         background and objective: the relationship between diabetes mellitus and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases has been demonstrated. the aim of this study was to determine the fatty acid profile of epicardial adipose tissue in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease.          methods: in this study, 28 diabetic and 40 nondiabetic patients were evalua...

introduction: medical benefits of omega 3 fatty acids have appealeda lot of research to be done on of fish oil. among marine fish, kilka has the most industrial application. kilka oil contains significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids. in this study, physiochemical properties, fatty acid composition and stabilization of kilka oil were investigated. p- hydroxy benzoic asid, its methyl ester and ...

Two groups of fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) were maintained on different diets. Mitochondria were isolated, proton leak was measured and phospholipid fatty acid composition determined. Mitochondria from flies fed on corn-base meal (containing high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids, 18:2(n-6) and 18:3(n-3) and low amounts of monounsaturated fatty acid, 18:1(n-9)) contained more poly...
