Changes in the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of flaxseed hull during maturation were investigated. P129 hull variety was studied at four maturation stages (St1, St2, St3, and St4). Significant variation in proximate composition and flaxseed hull oil characteristics were observed. A significant increase in the carbohydrates content of the hull was observed during development. The...

We demonstrate that the traditional emulsification theory can be enriched by a self-assembly approach, in which hydrophilic copolymers with one block exhibiting noncovalent forces with the oil phase self-assemble at the oil-water interface, thereby reducing interfacial tension and forming emulsions. This approach was established using affinity diblock copolymers that can interact with oil molec...

The main purpose of the present study is to evaluate the ability of nanoemulsion entrapping pomegranate peel polyphenol-rich ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) prepared from pomegranate seed oil and medium chain triglyceride to protect human erythrocyte membrane from oxidative damage and to assess preliminary in vitro photosafety. In order to evaluate the phototoxic effect of nanoemulsions, human red...

I developed Graves' Disease four months postpartum. After one year on propylthiouracil, I learned that omega-3 fatty acids may reduce inflammation associated with certain autoimmune disorders, although no investigations for thyroiditis have been reported. Within eight weeks of beginning flaxseed oil supplements, TSH levels normalized, but fell somewhat when flaxseed was decreased and PTU discon...

introduction: this study was designed to evaluate the effects of treatment with flaxseed oil (fso) on renal ischemia-reperfusion (rir) injuries in rats. materials and methods: in this study, 32 wistar rats were randomly studied in four groups: co+ns (control group with normal saline administration), sh+ns (sham group with normal saline administration), rir+ns and rir+fso. fso (0.2 ml) was admin...

Diets rich in carotenoids have been correlated with a reduced risk of developing certain types of chronic diseases, but these bioactive components have low intestinal absorption due to their hydrophobic nature. The aim of this work was to study the effect of carrier oil composition (medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) to long-chain triglyceride (LCT) ratio) and total carrier oil concentration (1% o...

The aim of this study was to optimize topical nanoemulsions containing genistein, by means of a 23 full factorial design based on physicochemical properties and skin retention. The experimental arrangement was constructed using oil type (isopropyl myristate or castor oil), phospholipid type (distearoylphosphatidylcholine [DSPC] or dioleylphosphaditylcholine [DOPC]), and ionic cosurfactant type ...

Alteration of the lipid content and fatty acid (FA) composition of foods can result in a healthier product. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of flaxseed oil or sunflower oil in the goat diet on fatty acid composition of muscle and expression of lipogenic genes in the semitendinosus (ST) muscle. Twenty-one entire male Boer kid goats were fed diets containing different levels of ...
