The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of low-dose gamma irradiation (0, 1, 3 and 5 kGy) on fatty acid composition of Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillet. Among all of the fatty acids, oleic acid (C18:1) (with mean 33.50±3.02 g/100 g fatty acids) and myristoleic acid (C14:1) (with mean 0.41±0.26 g/100 g fatty acids) were the most predominant and the lowest fatty acids in ...

Background and Objectives: Breast milk composition is affected by several factors such as maternal diet and body mass index. Milk fats include a major calorie content of the milk, which changes dramatically throughout the lactation. The aim of the present study was to assess breast milk fatty acid profile in overweight and obese mothers and its correlations with maternal body mass index. Mater...

It has been shown on two examples that STM and AFM techniques can be used to image oxometalates with molecular resolution. The shapes of these molecules are clearly distinguished and their dimensions have been determined. It has even been possible to correlate other results culled from the AFM image of the surface of a single crystal of an oxometalate with those of crystallography. These result...

dietary factors are suggested to be involved in recent increases in the prevalence of asthma. the differences in dietary intake of 23 asthmatic and 317 non-asthmatic students were investigated, who were chosen by multistage stratified cluster sampling. the dietary data were assessed by food frequency questionnaire and a 24-h recall form. total calorie and fat intake were similar. daily intake o...

The total lipid content and composition of fatty acids of the liver and muscles of wild and cultured male and female Acanthopagrus latus were determined by gas-liquid chromatography. There were quantitative differences between individual fatty acids in the tissues investigated depending on sex and location. In all the samples studied, sex and location considered, the principle saturated fatty a...
