There is a bit of debate about the pros and cons of olive oil vs corn oil. Some newer research suggests when included in a well-balanced diet, corn oil may have comparable or possibly greater, health benefits when juxtaposed with olive oil. Both corn and olive oil are made up of mostly unsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are often described as ?healthy fats?. Researc...

Background. Vasomotor reactivity may contribute to the pathophysiology of ischemic injury. The atherosclerotic vessel may be particularly susceptible to vasoconstriction because of the damaged endothelial layer with resultant loss of vasodilatory factors. While dietary o3 fatty acids have been proposed to protect against vascular occlusion, it is not clear to what extent this results from alter...

BACKGROUND Vasomotor reactivity may contribute to the pathophysiology of ischemic injury. The atherosclerotic vessel may be particularly susceptible to vasoconstriction because of the damaged endothelial layer with resultant loss of vasodilatory factors. While dietary omega 3 fatty acids have been proposed to protect against vascular occlusion, it is not clear to what extent this results from a...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of corn oil administration on gestation, parturition, and lactation in rats, in conjunction with diets differing in composition of nutrients. Rats were divided into two groups, each fed different commercial pellets for rodents, CA-1 or CE-2, different from each other mainly in the source of protein. Female Sprague-Dawley rats in both di...

In this study was to extract and analyses composition of corn oil and develop cosmetics from corn oil extract. A simple high performance liquid chromatographic procedure for the determination of retinol and alpha tocopherol from corn oil nanoemulsions was proposed. The preparation condition for nanoemulsions of corn oil by high pressure homogenization was investigated. It appeared that the appr...

Four Hereford steers (500 +/- 4.5 kg of BW) cannulated in the proximal duodenum were used to evaluate the effects of vegetable oil source or fish oil quantity on ruminal biohydrogenation (BH) and CLA outflow. Steers were fed 1 of 4 treatment diets in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments (oil source: canola vs. corn oil; fish oil quantity: 0 or 1%) in a 4 x 4 Latin square design. The rema...

Three experiments evaluated the lipids in distillers grains plus solubles compared with corn or other sources of lipid in finishing diets. Experiment 1 utilized 60 individually fed yearling heifers (349 +/- 34 kg of BW) fed treatments consisting of 0, 20, or 40% (DM basis) wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS), or 0, 2.5, or 5.0% (DM basis) corn oil in a finishing diet based on high-moistu...

S U M M A R Y Molecular distillates of corn oil consisting of the three most volatile 1.7 per cent cuts and the next most volatile 4.9 per cent cut obtained from 150 kg. of refined oil have been subjected to simple solvent and chromatographic fractionation. These fractions represented about 10 per cent of the original oil and some 50 per cent of its total unsaponifiable material. About 74 per ...

Intraperitoneal injection of trace amounts of corn oil prior to and following the injection of 40-50 mg of tissue from hepatoma 7777 or 7800 into the thigh of adult male Buffalo rats resulted in a marked decrease in the growth rate of both tumors. Exhaustive extraction of the corn oil with water indicated that the active component was not water soluble. Similar injections of safflower oil or is...

This paper examines important factors for policymakers to consider when making a decision to adopt Bt corn planting and commercialisation, by analysing the market, environmental, and health benefits and risks of Bt corn as well as current regulatory policies that may affect trade. Bt corn, genetically modified to produce a pesticidal protein, has benefits that include improved yield, decreased ...
