BACKGROUND Plant and marine n-3 fatty acids (FA) may favorably modify select markers of cardiovascular disease risk. Whether supplementing the habitual diet of lacto-ovo-vegetarians (LOV) with walnuts (containing α-linolenic acid, ALA) and n-3 FA enriched eggs (containing primarily docosahexaenoic acid, DHA and ALA) would have equivalent effects on CVD risk factors is explored in this study. ...

Elevated serum cholesterol, a major cause of vascular disease, has been strongly correlated with eating greater than normal amounts of cholesterol and saturated fatty acids. The role at omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), especially eicosa pentanoic acid (EPA) and decosahexaconic (DHA), has been associated with the prevention of degenerative disease. Breast milk and eggs fulfill the hum...

Salmonella is the most important human pathogen associated with shell eggs. Salmonella Enteritidis is the serotype most often implicated in outbreaks, although other serotypes have been recovered from eggs and from the commercial shell egg washing environment. Many sample methods are used to recover microorganisms from eggshells and membranes. A shell rinse and modified shell-and-membrane crush...

Qualitative differentiation between natural and enriched chicken eggs through omega (ω) 3 fatty acid profiles by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) under direct UV detection at 200 nm is proposed. The electrolyte background consisted of 12.0 mmol L(-1) tetraborate buffer (pH 9.2) mixed with 12.0 mmol L(-1) Brij 35, 17% acetonitrile (ACN) and 33% methanol (MeOH). Omega 3 fatty acid profile in ...

This study examined the effectiveness of consuming omega-3 fatty acid-enriched eggs (Omega Eggs) in increasing rotal diclary omcga-3 fatty acids. Also examined was the impact of OmegaE~gg consumption on serum lipids. Sixteen hypercholesterolemic men and women with baseline serum total cholesterol concentrations of 5. J 7-7.76 mmoliL (200-300 mg/dL) followed the National Cholesterol Education Pr...

Developing new sources of organic Se has potential benefit for animal production and human nutrition via animal-based foods enriched in Se. The objectives of this trial were to compare L-selenomethionine with another organic Se source, Se-enriched yeast (SelPlex 2300), and sodium selenite, an inorganic Se source, against a commercial control diet. The effect of source and the dosage of Se suppl...
