We performed a meta-analysis on data extracted from 97 reports of experiments, involving a total of 12,803 mice or rats, studying the effect on mammary tumor incidence of different types of dietary fatty acids. Fatty acids were categorized into saturated, monounsaturated, n-6 polyunsaturated, and n-3 polyunsaturated. We modeled the relation between tumor incidence and percentage of total calori...

Fatty acid profile of deep-sea mud shrimp (Solenocera hextii) and shovel-nosed lobsters (Thenus unimaculatus) harvested from south-west coast (Arabian Sea) India were evaluated compared. Palmitic oleic acids the principle saturated fatty monounsaturated acids, respectively in lobster species. T. unimaculatus contained greater concentrations C20-22 n-3 polyunsaturated such as docosahexaenoic eic...

Introduction: Gastric cancer is the fourth common cancer and the second leading cause of death from cancer worldwide. Omega fatty acids are a group of non-saturated fatty acids of long chains derive from linolenic, linoleic and oleic fatty acids. The current study aimed at examining the possible effects of oral administration of omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids on gastric cancer cell apoptosis in...

The pine nuts, as the most expensive ones, are a source of healthy oil. Accordingly, the hypothesis was genetic differences of pine species (Pinus spp.) affect their nut oil content and fatty acid phytovariability. A completely randomized design experiment with three replicates was done in Isfahan Flower Garden, Iran, using four pine species of chir pine (Pinus longifolia<...

dog rose (rosa canina l.) is a wild native species in iran, with a significant genetic diversity. the purpose of this research was to study quantitative and qualitative characteristics of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids dog rose ecotypes in five habitats of isfahan province in 2014-2015. oil was extracted from seeds by using soxhlet apparatus; the fatty acid composition of oil was charact...

These studies were undertaken to investigate the mechanisms involved in the regulation of hepatic low density lipoprotein (LDL) transport by n-3 fatty acids in the hamster and rat. Animals were fed n-3 or n-6 fatty acids with a cholesterol-free, very-low-fat semisynthetic diet, or with a diet enriched with cholesterol and saturated fat. Although the enrichment of liver lipids with dietary n-3 f...
