Background Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids on pregnant women with major depressive disorder (MDD). This meta-analysis was conducted to systematically evaluate the clinical applicability of omega-3 fatty acids in treating depression in pregnant women. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared omega-3 fatty acids ...

there is a great interest in developing rapid analytical methods and provide appropriate parametersfor quantitative analysis of compounds derived from refractory pollutants. such methods are important forroutine quality control analysis of an effluent before being discharged into the environment. therefore, a rapid methodology for identification and quantification of some aliphatic acids is pro...

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: control of the phosphorus in hemodialysis patients is very important and can be done in many ways. the purpose of the study was to compare the effects of nicotinic acid and lanthanum carbonate on hyperphosphatemia in the hemodialysis patients. materials and methods: this double-blind randomized clinical trial was done in imam hossein hospital (shahroud, iran) in 2014. the participan...

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...

background: addition of amino acids to the culture medium is beneficial for embryonic development in many species. objective: the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of amino acids on the in vitro maturation and embryonic development of the bovine oocyte. materials and methods: bovine ovaries were collected from a local abattoir and brought into laboratory. cumulus-oocyte com...

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 ...
