Two omega-3 fatty acids including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are essential for the physiologic function of neuronal cell membrane. Normal function of neuronal cell membrane requires appropriate composition of fatty in its structure. Present study was designed to compare the effect of short-term and long-term pretreatment with omega-3 fatty acids on scopolamine...

changes in the fatty acid content, during frozen storage at -24°c of caspian kutum (rutilus frisii kutum), golden grey mullet (liza aurata), common carp (caprinus carpio), pike perch (sander lucioperca) and common kilka (clupeonella cultiventris caspia), caught from south caspian sea were studied in the present work. changes in saturated fatty acids (sfas), monounsaturated fatty acids (mufas), ...

In this study, seasonal variations in the fatty acid profiles of the liver and muscle of Squalius cephalus from Tödürge Lake were determined by Gas Chromatography (GC). C22:6 n-3, C20:5 n-3, C20:4 n-6, C18:1 n-9, C18:1 n-7, C16:1 n-7, C18:0 and C16:0 were the principal fatty acids showing the highest levels in the muscle and liver of Squalius cephalus in all seasons. Although C22:6 n-3, which i...

background: spermatozoa preservation is an approach to improve the fertility rate to pass on the valuable genetic material from sire to their offspring. during the last 20 years, reproductive biotechnologists have focused on the approaches that improve spermatozoa cryosurvival. one of the possible mechanisms is supplementation in semen extender. objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate...

Background: Fatty acids are known to be critically important in multiple biological functions. Phospholipid fatty acids of follicular fluid, an important microenvironment for the development of oocytes, may contribute to the women’s fertility and the efficacy of assisted reproduction techniques. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fatty acid composition of follicular fluid ph...

Background: Spermatozoa preservation is an approach to improve the fertility rate to pass on the valuable genetic material from sire to their offspring. During the last 20 years, reproductive biotechnologists have focused on the approaches that improve spermatozoa cryosurvival. One of the possible mechanisms is supplementation in semen extender. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluat...

objective(s): reproductive dysfunction is a consequence of diabetes. diabetes is associated with changes in testicular tissue. sesame oil contains large amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids and lignin with antioxidant activity, vitamin e, and monounsaturated fatty acid (mufa). the present study investigated the effects of sesame on testis histology and male reproductive parameters in streptoz...

Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids of the n-6 and the n-3 class show differing effects on serum lipids and hepatic lipoprotein metabolism, which could be induced by alterations in hepatocellular cholesterol balance. As both fatty acid classes exert parallel effects on lipoprotein uptake and synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, we studied whether they have differing effects on the excretory p...
