The effects of olive oil and rapeseed oil, two different high-oleic-acid oils, on plasma LDL and hepatic cholesterol metabolism were compared in guinea-pigs. Animals were fed on semipurified diet containing 150 g fat/kg as either olive oil (OL), rapeseed oil plus 100 g palm oil/kg (C-P) or olive oil plus 350 g safflowerseed oil/kg (OL-S). Olive oil was enriched with safflowerseed oil (OL-S diet...

The aim of the study was an evaluation of the influence of chicken feed supplementation with plant oils contain high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids on histochemical characteristics of meat. Chickens Vedetta were divided into three experimental groups and they were fed with feed DKA-SFA; control group and with the addition of rapeseed oil of 2.75% and vitamin E 0.015%, as well as of 8.25%...

Interactions among dietary ingredients are often assumed non-existent when evaluating the nutritive value and health effects of dietary fiber. Specific fibers can distinctly affect digestive processes; therefore, digestibility and fermentability of the complete diet may depend on fiber types present. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of readily fermentable fibers (β-glucans and resistant...

The apetalous trait of rapeseed (Brassica napus, AACC, 2n = 38) is important for breeding an ideal high-yield rapeseed with superior klendusity to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Currently, the molecular mechanism underlying the apetalous trait of rapeseed is unclear. In this study, 14 petal regulators genes were chosen as target genes (TGs), and the expression patterns of the 14 TGs in the AH popula...

this study was carried out to determine the effects of gamma irradiation on dry matter (dm) and on crude protein (cp) degradation of rapeseed meal, using nylon bags and sds-page techniques. ruminal nylon bags of either untreated or irradiated rapeseed meal at doses of 25, 50 and 75 kgy were suspended in the rumen of four non-lactating holstein cows for up to 48 h. intestinal crude protein diges...

to determine the yield stability, adaptability and analysis of the genotype× environment interaction of virginia tobacco, 15 hybrids of tobacco including 10 iranian and 5 international hybrids were evaluated in two different experiments (water stress and normal irrigation) using a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at two locations including rasht and tirtash tobacc...

In order to investigate the effect of different levels of rapeseed meal on performance and content of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in broiler chickens’ blood, 640 1-d-old Ross male broiler chickens were studied through a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement including 4 levels of rapeseed meal (RSM) (0, 5, 10 and 15 percent) and two levels of enzyme (0 and 0...

Sclerotinia stem rot is one of the most devastating diseases of rapeseed in China, which causes yield loss ranging from 10 to 80%. The objective of this study was to detect the QTLs associated with this disease. A partial sclerotinia resistance rapeseed line M083 was crossed with a sensitive one APL01, and the BC1F1 derived from this cross was used as a mapping population. The 182 lines of BC1F...

Improved conditions for gas-liquid chromatography of triglycerides are reported. Triglycerides of bovine colostrum and rapeseed oil have been analyzed under these conditions.
