Twenty Beni-Guil-PGI female lambs were used to study the effects of rearing season on meat quality characteristics, fatty acids profile, and lipid content. The animals reared according pastoral-transhumant system in eastern region Morocco. treatments consisted 10 summer-autumn (SA) slaughtered at winter winter-spring (WS) spring season. After slaughter, longissimus lumborum was collected for ea...

Background: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and a risk factor for cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure. Previously, we reported that dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6,n-3) was more effective than eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5,n-3) at reversing western diet (WD) induced NASH in LDLR-/mice. Methods: Using live...

Ruminant fat is rich in SFA, partly due to the biohydrogenation of dietary PUFA to SFA in the rumen. This process can be inhibited by the dietary inclusion of fish oil. The only bacteria isolated from the rumen capable of converting PUFA to SFA are closely related to Clostridium proteoclasticum. The aim of this study was to investigate if a correlation could be found in vivo between dietary fis...

The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for pork intramuscular fatty acid (FA) composition and indices for desaturase and elongase activities involved in n-3 and n-6 PUFA metabolism. The LM of 437 slaughter pigs was analyzed for FA composition (expressed as g/100 g of FA). Indices for enzyme activities were calculated from product to precursor FA ratios. Genetic parameters were...

Vegetarian diets have gained in popularity, especially among highly educated women, and are considered beneficial to health. Comparative studies assessing the diet of vegetarians against omnivores rather limited often provide ambivalent results. Therefore, this study examined nutrient intake nutritional quality vegetarian omnivorous a group 61 female students Germany. Habitual dietary was evalu...

Chronic ingestion of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) was previously shown to compromise blood-brain barrier integrity, leading to brain parenchymal extravasation of apolipoprotein B (apo B) lipoproteins enriched in amyloid beta. In contrast, diets enriched in mono- or polyunsaturated (PUFA) oils had no detrimental effect. Rather, n3 and n6 oils generally confer protection via suppression of inflam...

Fats and oils are important carriers protectors of liposoluble vitamins: A,D,E,K; Provitamins like carotenes & tocopherols nutraceutical products: Squalene, polyphenols, sterols etc. However, most single do not have the correct balance to meet humans’ nutrition requirement. Some well-known non healthier attributes using for cooking other edible purpose presence an balanced amount Omega 6 (W...

Visual evoked potentials (VEP) were measured in 36 patients with early-treated phenylketonuria (PKU; aged 1 to 11 years) and good metabolic control before and after supplementation with omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) from fish oil. Patients with PKU had significantly longer P100 latencies than 22 age-matched control subjects. After 3 months of LC-PUFA supplementation, ...
