In recent years the intake of n-6 PUFA and trans-fatty acids (TFA) has increased, whereas n-3 PUFA intake has decreased. The present study investigated the effects of maternal diet high in n-6 PUFA, n-3 PUFA or TFA on glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity and fatty acid profile in male offspring. Female weanling Wistar/NIN rats were randomly assigned to receive either a diet high in linoleic ...

this experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of dietary caspian kilka fish oil on breast meat fatty acid (fa) profile and as well as sensory acceptability of breast meat. fish oil supplementation was added to provide four graded levels (0, 1, 2, and 3% fish oil) in place of vegetable oil for supporting 3% oil in the diet during the period of breeding. these four diets were allocated to o...

Fatty acids (FA) were added to differentiating chick adipocytes to study their effects on the synthesis and secretion of avian lipoprotein lipase (LPL). Oleate (18:ln-9), eicosapentaenoate (EPA, 20:5n-3), and linoleate (18:2n-6) were complexed to fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin (BSA) and separately added to cells in RMPI-1640 media containing 0.5% delipidated hen serum. LPL secretion in th...

The visceral storage fat and liver of patin catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) are normally discarded, which incurs cost and can cause environmental pollution. However, these may be potential sources to extract fish oil. The proximate and fatty acid compositions of liver and fatty tissue of patin catfish were investigated to evaluate the suitability of these by-products for extracting fish o...

Dietary fat sources may differentially affect the development of inflammation in insulin-sensitive tissues during chronic overfeeding. Considering the anti-inflammatory properties of ω-3 fatty acids, this study aimed to compare the effects of chronic high-fish oil and high-lard diets on obesity-related inflammation by evaluating serum and tissue adipokine levels and histological features in ins...

the purposes of this study were to evaluate of ovarian and insulin dynamics in dairy cows fed omega-3 fatty acid source. ten holstein multiparous cows were selected and after adaptation period given diets containing palm oil (control) and fish oil (treatment) from day -40 to 60 after calving. the study carried to show the effect of omega-3 fatty acids on insulin resistance. glucose tolerance te...

BACKGROUND The health benefits of increased intakes of omega-3 fatty acids are well established but palatability often presents a problem. The process of emulsification is used in the food industry to provide a wider spectrum of use, often with the result of increased consumption. Moreover, as emulsification is an important step in the digestion and absorption of fats, the pre-emulsification pr...

BACKGROUND This is the second of two review parts aiming at describing the major physiological roles of fatty acids, as well as their applications in specific conditions related to human health. RESULTS The review included the current literature published in Pubmed up to March 2011. In humans, fatty acids are a principle energy substrate and structural components of cell membranes (phospholip...

objective: to modify yeild of milk fat and to improve fatty acids profile of milk fat with supplementation of the diet with fish oil enrich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially, eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic acid (dha). design: clinical trial. animals: ten dairy cows (treatment group, n=5 and control group, n=5). procedure: different amounts of fish oil were fed to the treatment...
