one-hundred-sixty-eight 28-wk-old hy-line layers (w-36) were used to evaluate the effect of different levels of linseed (ls) and safflower seed (ss) on antibody titter, blood and yolk cholesterol, yolk fatty acid content and the ratio of omega-6/ omega-3. hens were randomly assaigned in a compeletly randomised design each 3 replicates of 8 hens. they were fed diets contained 0, 4, 7 and 10% ls ...

objective: the effects of dietary fish oil on semen quality and sperm fatty acid profiles during consumption of n-3 fatty acids as well as the persistency of fatty acids in ram’s sperm after removing dietary oil from the diet were investigated. materials and methods: in this experimental study, we randomly assigned 9 zandi rams to two groups (isoenergetic and isonitrogenous diets): control (ctr...

Fatty acid composition of fish is one of the key factors for the evaluation of fish nutritional value and it could be different based on fish species, habitat, nutrition and etc. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the fatty acid composition of five commercially important freshwater fish from the fish market. Studied fish were as follows: Barbell, Luciobarbus pectoralis (Heckel, 1843),...

Free fatty acids and the risk of sudden death • Elevated circulating free fatty acids have been reported to be a risk factor for sudden death. In the Paris Prospective Study reported by Jouven et al. [ 3 ], 5250 men were observed over a mean follow-up period of 22 years. The concept that omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may have potential health benefits has been supported by e...

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 ...

Nutritional value of freshwater mesozooplankton, fatty acid (FA) and amino acid (AA) compositions were determined in the middle of each season for a one-year period from May 2009 to February 2010 in Hanna Dam Lake, Isfahan, Iran. FA and AA composition significantly (P < 0.05) varied in relation to the seasonal changes of water quality, phytoplankton and zooplankton community. The content of sat...

abstract introduction: omega 3 fatty acid especially in the form of fish oil, has structural and biological role in the body&apos;s various systems especially nervous system. numerous studies have tried to research about it. auditory is one of the affected systems. omega 3 deficiency can have devastating effects on the nervous system and auditory. this study aimed to evaluate neural conduction ...
