Fatty acid composition of lipid components as a part of recipes of meat products has been investigated. Factors influencing the results of analytical determination of individual fatty acids are shown. The main ratios of fatty acid composition describing fats of sheep, sow, boar, cow, turkey, horse, chicken, pheasant, and wild boar are presented, allowing their use in manufacture of modern meat ...

iran annually exports considerable quantities of nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, pista-chios and walnuts. the fatty acid profile of these nut oils as an index of their quality was determined using gas chromatography. results indicated that oleic acid (c18:1) was the major fatty acid in almonds (75.37%), hazelnuts (76.21%) and pistachios (60.49%) fol-lowed by linoleic acid (c18:2), whereas in w...

the study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different dietary oil sources supplementation on laying hens’ performance and fatty acids profile of egg yolks. seventy-two 23-week-old laying hens (tetra-sl) divided into six experimental diets (four replicates and three birds per replication) in a completely randomized design for nine weeks. experimental diets were included: 1) control (no oi...

background: fatty acids are known to be critically important in multiple biological functions. phospholipid fatty acids of follicular fluid, an important microenvironment for the development of oocytes, may contribute to the women’s fertility and the efficacy of assisted reproduction techniques. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fatty acid composition of follicular fluid ph...

apoptosis is a complex network of biochemical and molecular pathway with fine regulatory mechanisms that control the death event during several pathological situations in multi cellular organisms. it is the part of normal development that occurs in a variety of diseases and is known as aberrant apoptosis. pancreatic β cell apoptosis is also a pathological feature which is common in both type 1 ...

Background: Feeding unsaturated fatty acids sources in dairy cows is considered as a strategy to improve animal health during postpartum period and milk fatty acid profile. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the effects of conjugated linoleic acid supplement and combination of sesame meal and oil on performance and milk fatty acid composition of dairy cows during transition period. MET...

OBJECTIVE Low levels of docosahexaenoic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, and elevated ratios of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids are associated with major depression and, possibly, suicidal behavior. Predicting risk of future suicidal behaviors by essential fatty acid status merits examination. METHOD Plasma polyunsaturated fatty acid levels in phospholipids were measured in 33 medication-free ...

The authors assessed the association between serum phospholipid fatty acids as biomarkers of fatty acid intake and breast cancer risk among women in the E3N Study (1989–2002), the French component of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition. During an average of 7 years of follow-up, 363 cases of incident invasive breast cancer were documented among 19,934 women who, at ...
