The present study compared the effects of feeding dried grape pomace (DGP) or citrus pulp (DCP) at 150 g/kg dry matter to a control diet on major polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), volatile and sensory profiles beef. Feeding DGP DCP diets Angus steers for 90 d increased proportions C18:2n-6, C20:4n-6, C18:3n-3, total conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), n-3 n-6 PUFA in muscle. Control-fed beef had ...

The effects of stearic acid (C18:0) and trans-fatty acids (trans-FAs) on measures of platelet function and prostacyclin (PGI2) production are poorly understood in humans. In this controlled dietary study, platelet function and endothelial PGI2 production were studied in healthy humans after they consumed diets rich in C18:0 or trans-FAs. For 5 weeks, 80 subjects consumed a baseline diet high in...

Background: The aim of the present study is the determination of the effects of seasonal variations on the proximate analysis, cholesterol content and fatty acid compositions of Helix aspersa. Materials and Methods: Garden snails (Helix aspersa) were picked up by hand from the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey, in autumn (November) and spring (April) in 2011. Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) an...

The aims of this paper were to investigate the component fatty acids of some freshwater fish species by comparing the levels of essential fatty acids present. The FAME were determined by GC-MS and were identified using retention time locked methods and retention time databases. The fatty acids profiles include minor amounts of odd-number, branched-chain, and even-number fatty acids as well as s...

To investigate the underlying mechanisms of C18 fatty acids (stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid) on mast cells, we measured the effect of C18 fatty acids on intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization and histamine release in RBL-2H3 mast cells. Stearic acid rapidly increased initial peak of intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization, whereas linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid gradually ...

1. Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is a minor component of lung surfactant which may be able to replace the functionally important phosphatidylglycerol (PG) [Beppu, Clements & Goerke (1983) J. Appl. Physiol. 55, 496-502] without disturbing lung function. The dipalmitoyl species is one of the main species for both PI (14.4%) and PG (16.9%). Besides the C16:0--C16:0 species, the C16:0--C18:0, C16:0--C1...

To improve beef quality, a selection of specific breeds for crossbreeding, genotyping, and candidate genes in breeding animals can be some the solutions. The objective this study was to determine effects FASN, SCD, GH on carcass fatness fatty acid (FA) composition intramuscular lipids crossbred Holstein × (Simmental, Belgian Blue, Limousin, Piemontese). allelic genotypic distribution polymorphi...

In order to study the effect of grazing pastures with a different botanical composition on rumen and intramuscular fatty acid metabolism, 21 male lambs were assigned to three botanically different pastures: botanically diverse (BD) (consisting for 65% of a variety of grass species); Leguminosa rich (L) (consisting for 61% of Leguminosae) and intensive English ryegrass (IR) (with 69% Lolium pere...

A 4 x 5 Youden square design was used to determine the effects of form of oil and roasting temperature of soybeans on site and extent of OM, fiber, energy, lipid, and fatty acid digestion and the degree of ruminal biohydrogenation of C18 unsaturated fatty acids. Four steers (373 kg +/- 30.7) with ruminal, duodenal, and ileal cannulas were fed each of five diets during five periods. Diets contai...

The Bordeaux grape variety is the most used in production of red juices. objective work was to evaluate carotenoids, flavonoids, vitamins C, E and B complex, total fatty acids, phytates, tannins, antioxidant capacity, phenolic compounds centesimal composition whole (W) defatted (D) seed flours oil (O). Total acids were evaluated by gas chromatography (flame ionization detector). Analysis comple...
