BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A traditional diet that is poor in animal products is thought to explain the high rate of stroke in Asian populations. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of a diet rich in animal protein, animal fat, and cholesterol on the risk of cerebral infarction mortality in a Japanese population. METHODS A prospective study of 3731 Japanese men and women ag...

  Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of complex substances that are produced during incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. PAHs are known to be persistent pollutants which can remain in nature for years. In 1991 during the first Persian Gulf War south west part of Iran was contaminated heavily. This study was undertaken to see if the PAHs can be traceable in animal tissues many...

Food habits have a serious role in the emergence of the diseases and inflammation that causes many kinds of diseases. Some case-control studies concluded that high animal fat and cholesterol in diet is associated with some neuroinflammatory diseases such as Parkinson and Alzheimer. High level of cholesterol and lipopolysaccharides(LPS) include the peripheral inflammation in the body. There is e...

Twenty-five patients sustained an average weight loss of 21.7 pounds on a diet in which 73 per cent of total calories consisted of animal fat. Their "new" weight was maintained on this highfat diet and subsequently on a low-fat diet. Standard Sf 0-12 lipoproteins were highly influenced by dietary fat intake independent of weight change. In contrast the Sf 20-400 fraction was lowered by negative...

In this study, corn oil as vegetable oil, chicken fat and fleshing oil as animal fats were used to produce methyl ester in a biodiesel pilot plant. The FFA level of the corn oil was below 1% while those of animal fats were too high to produce biodiesel via base catalyst. Therefore, it was needed to perform pretreatment reaction for the animal fats. For this aim, sulfuric acid was used as cataly...

BACKGROUND -Dietary animal fat and protein have been inversely associated with a risk of intraparenchymal hemorrhage in ecological studies. METHODS AND RESULTS In 1980, 85 764 women in the Nurses' Health Study cohort, who were 34 to 59 years old and free of diagnosed cardiovascular disease and cancer, completed dietary questionnaires. From these questionnaires, we calculated fat and protein i...
