ôbjective: ït has been shown that serum and red blood cells’ level of ômega-3 fatty acids are low in people with schizophrenia. many studies have, therefore, attempted to explore the beneficial effects of these substances in the management of schizophrenia. however, the outcomes of the previous studies have not been clear cut. the present study is an attempt to retest this hypothesis by elimina...

objective(s): occludin is essential for proper assembly of tight junctions (tjs) which regulate paracellular endothelial permeability. omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 pufa) protect endothelial barrier function against injury. materials and methods: we examined anti-inflammatory effect of ω-3 pufa intake (30 mg/kg/day for 10 days) on expression and location of occludin in the aorta of a...

in this study, the effects of incorporating grape seed powder (gsp) on flour physicochemical properties i.e. particle size, crude protein, fiber, wet gluten and gluten quality (zeleny test), and dough rheological properties were investigated. increasing incorporation levels of gsp from 5 to 25% (w/w flour basis) led to an increase in the amount of fat, total phenol, and total dietary fiber; whe...

The study was conducted to investigate the fatty acid profile of intramuscular fat in longissimus lumborum (LL) of three genotypic groups: Qazvinian native (Q, n=10), crossbred Qazvinian native × Saanen breed (QS, n=10) and backcrossed Qazvinian native × Saanen breed (QSS, n=9) male kids.All of kids were weaned at 75-days-old and then fed with a diet consisted of concentrate (70%) and alfalfa h...

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...

 The study aims to determine the influence of frying (shallow and deep) with olive, canola and sunflower oil on fatty acid composition of silver carp < /font>. Frying by olive oil and canola oil increased the monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) significantly (p < 0.05) that consequently decreased saturated fatty acids (SFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and ω-3 fatty acids. Frying by sunfl...

in this study,oil was extracted from the liver and visceral fat of patin (pangasianodon hypophthalmus) and refined. the yield of oil after refining was 49.98%. the major yield loss (34.20%) happened during the degumming procedure. fatty acids found in the crude and refined oil were c12:0, c14:0, c14:1, c16:0, c16:1, c18:0, c18:1, c18:2, c18:3, c18:4, c20:0, c20:1, c20:4, c20:5, and c22:6. the d...

the aim of this work was to analyze the fatty acid profile in persian gulf shrimp, metapenaeus affinis that is one of the edible and well-known shrimps and has suitable amount of fatty acids specific polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa). it has been reported that, a high dietary consumption of marine n-3 fatty acids may prevent the development of atherosclerosis and thrombosis. the fatty acids pr...
