OBJECTIVE The main objective of this study was to determine the amount and type of fat consumed by early school-age children per day. Dietary fat intake as a percentage of the total calorie intake was also estimated. METHODS The study was conducted in Lublin, the largest city in south-east Poland, between January 2014 and April 2014, on 702 randomly selected children, i.e. 3% of the total pop...

diet as a part of lifestyle plays a pivotal role in the development of metabolic syndrome and its consequences. fatty acid composition as a part of dietary intake affects blood fatty acid concentrations, insulin sensitivity and different metabolic pathways associated with the occurrence and consequences of the metabolic syndrome. the aim of this review is to evaluate the effects of dietary fatt...

A total of 2,011 pigs (PIC 1050 × DNA 600; initially 62.4 ± 4.6 lb) were used in a 113-d finishing trial to evaluate the effects two different fat sources fed at levels on growth performance, carcass characteristics, iodine value, and economics raised commercial environment. Pigs randomly allotted 1 5 dietary treatments with 21 27 per pen 16 pens treatment. Dietary arranged 2 + factorial main s...

Food products from ruminants are the major dietary source of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) for humans. The uniqueness of CLA in ruminant fat relates to the biohydrogenation of dietary unsaturated fatty acids by rumen bacteria. The CLA are intermediates in the biohydrogenation, and a portion escape the rumen and are incorporated into milk fat and body fat. In addition, the animal itself synthe...

Metabolic mechanisms underlying the divergent response of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) to changes in dietary macronutrient composition were assessed. Fish were fed one of four isoenergetic diets having a digestible protein-to-digestible energy (DP:DE) ratio above or below the optimal DP:DE ratio for both species. At each DP:DE ratio, fat was subst...

Introduction The question of whether or not a direct association exists between dietary fat and postmenopausal breast cancer risk has been the focus of numerous ecological, migrant, prospective cohort, case-control, and experimental studies conducted over the last several decades (1). No clear answer to this question, however, has yet been uncovered, and a considerable amount of controversy on ...

chicken has been used as a suitable model for lipid metabolism studies, because dietary modifications especially dietary fat type can change chicken body composition. fats act as a condense source of energy and certain fatty acids such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) are required for both animal and human health. the n-3 pufas, especially, eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic ...

It is the position of the American Dietetic Association (ADA) and Dietitians of Canada (DC) that dietary fat for the adult population should provide 20% to 35% of energy and emphasize a reduction in saturated fatty acids and trans-fatty acids and an increase in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. ADA and DC recommend a food-based approach for achieving these fatty acid recommendations; that is, a ...
