To examine the mechanism by which fish oil protects against fat-induced insulin resistance, we studied the effects of control, fish oil, and safflower oil diets on peroxisomal content, fatty acyl-CoA, diacylglycerol, and ceramide content in rat liver and muscle. We found that, in contrast to control and safflower oil-fed rats, fish oil feeding induced a 150% increase in the abundance of peroxis...

Effects of dietary fats consisting of different fatty acids on lipoprotein lipase activities in the interscapular brown adipose tissue, heart, and soleus muscle, and on body fat accumulation were studied in rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats were meal-fed an isoenergetic diet based on either beef tallow or safflower oil for 8 weeks. Lipoprotein lipase activities in the interscapular brown adipose t...

visceral leishmaniasis (vl) is an emerging zoonosis disease in countries of the mediterranean basin caused by leishmania infantum. although domestic dogs are the main vertebrate hosts, many wild carnivores have been considered playing a role in the spreading of vl. sporadic numbers of dog and human vl have been reported in golestan province in north iran. the present study was performed to dete...

little scientific information is available that has evaluated safflower (carthamus tinctorius) cake as a substitute to conventional ingredients in small ruminants diet. the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of feeding safflower cake in total mixed rations (tmrs) on lamb and kid growth rates, carcass traits and meat fatty acid composition. two consecutive trials were conducted us...

this experiment was carried out to evaluations the allopathic foliar application of safflower)carthamus tintorius) aqueous extracts on growth and leaf cell membrane leakage of hairy vetech (vicia villosa).  the experimental arrangement was crd in four replications. results showed that by increasing the concentration of safflower extracts, shoot dry weight and peroxidase enzyme activity decrease...
