The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effect of one-week feeding of flaxseeds (rolled/extruded) on performance, n-3 fatty acids and oxidative stability of meat in broiler chickens. Seven pelleted diets (36-42d) were provided in a 3×2 factorial arrangement with three flaxseed levels (5, 10, and 15%) and two processing methods (rolled/extruded) and a zero flaxseed control diet. Be...

background: endometriosis is a common chronic inflammation causing major problems including infertility. the role of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as their potential anti-inflammatory effects in endometriosis needs to be further explored. the objective of this study was to compare serum phospholipid fatty acid profile in endometriosis patients with controls, and to explore the correlation of ...

To the Editor: In the editorial “N-3 fatty acids: priority for post–myocardial infarction clinical trials,” Dr Scott Grundy1 (somewhat cautiously) endorsed the need for a trial to test the hypothesis that -3 fatty acid (FA) supplements will reduce risk for coronary death in patients randomized in the immediate post–myocardial infarction period. We support this recommendation, but we differ with...
