PURPOSE Epidemiologic and experimental studies suggest that dietary fat intake may affect risk of pancreatic cancer, but published results are inconsistent. METHODS We examined risk associations for specific types of dietary fat intakes and related food sources among 111,416 participants in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial. We used Cox proportional hazards reg...

and Implications Two trials were conducted to determine the response of pigs experiencing a low or high level of acute antigen exposure to three dietary energy regimens: a low-fat basal diet, basal diet plus 6% added choice white grease (low linoleic acid), and basal diet plus 6% added corn oil (high linoleic acid). All pigs were reared via a segregated early weaning scheme to minimize the pigs...

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 ...

A total of 144 barrows and gilts (initial BW = 44 kg) were used in an 82-d experiment to evaluate the effects of dietary fat source and duration of feeding fat on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and carcass fat quality. Dietary treatments were a corn-soybean meal control diet with no added fat and a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement of treatments with 5% choice white grease (CWG) or soyb...

Carbon-chain length and degree of saturation of dietary fat may influence weight gain. To examine this hypothesis we randomly allotted 100 male, 30-day old, albino rats to each of four groups. Each group was fed, ad libitum, a diet containing, as the only source of fat, either lard (L) or safflower oil (SO) (representing saturated and polyunsaturated fat respectively) or groundnut oil (GO) or c...

Twelve (12) weeks feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of fatty acid content/total lipid and carcass characteristics/organoleptic qualities of broiler fed diets supplemented with dietary fat sources at levels of 5% saturated and 5% unsaturated. Three experimental diets identified as T1, T2 and T3 were formulated, the control diet T1 was with 0% fat, T2 contained palm oil at 5% in...

Forty Large White barrows were used to determine whether the effects of dietary fat source (tallow or soy oil at 5% of the diet) on lipogenesis and fatty acid profile of porcine adipose and lean tissue were dependent on dietary digestible energy density (8.8 vs 14.0 MJ DE/kg). Barrows were allocated to one of four groups and offered a fixed amount of feed (170 g x BW0.569/d) from 27 to 105 kg B...

A number of major scientific advances have been realized in the last 25 yr in determining the opportunities and limitations of altering milk composition through nutritional manipulation. Because of the greater sensitivity of milk fat to dietary manipulation than either protein or lactose, nutritional control of milk fat content and fatty acid composition received a great deal of attention. New ...

OBJECTIVE Examine intakes of energy and macronutrients, and identify their food sources, in Thai preschool children. MATERIAL AND METHOD Data from the Thai National Health Examination Survey (NHES) IV were used. Mothers/caregivers were interviewed regarding their children's 24-hour-dietary intake. Dietary data were analyzed for energy and macronutrients, and their food sources were investigat...

OBJECTIVE To describe macronutrient intakes and food sources of the adult population in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and to assess adherence of this population to current dietary recommendations. DESIGN A cross-sectional food consumption survey collected food intake data using a 7-day food diary. SETTING Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland between October 1997 and O...
