We examined the effect of dietary eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA) on growth, survival, pigmentation and fatty acid composition of Senegal sole larvae using a dose-response design. From 3 to 40 days post hatch (dph), larvae were fed live food that had been enriched using one of four experimental emulsions containing graduated concentrations of EPA and constant docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3,...

Anyone who is familiar with live tunas must surely be impressed with the tremendous morphological investment in adaptations for high speed swimming. And anyone who is conversant with engineering principles must be aware of the extra energy required for even small increases in swim speed. Because of these high costs involved in the evolution and maintenance of a high velocity life style, the abi...

two hundred eighty days old male broiler chicks(ross strain) were randomly distributed into seven groups with four replicates (10 birds in each replicate) and were fed diets supplemented with different dietary fat sources.the results indicated that the different dietary treatments did not affect weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio at 21 d (p>0.05). however, addition of dietary fa...

Objective(s): Iranian researchers have enriched conventional engine oil with nanoparticles at the Institute of Petroleum Research and hope that this product can replace conventional engine oil due to the improved effects of copper nanoparticles on oils. the purpose of this study was to investigate the pathological effect of engine oil enriched with copper nanoparticles on the rat.Methods:...

The impact of the covering vegetable oil (sunflower oil, refined olive and extra virgin EVOO) on physicochemical sensory profiles canned tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis species) was evaluated, using analytical techniques a panel. results showed that covered with EVOO possesses higher content total phenols an enhanced antioxidant capacity. This medium also increased appreciated redness-yellowness color...

objective: the orange-red spectrum of  the skin of  electric yellow (labidochromis caeruleus) is  one  of  the  idealistic and  necessary  schemas sought  by  aquarists  and commercial producers. in this study, the effect of live foods meal on the skin coloration of juvenile electric yellow was examined. methods: 270 fish with an average living body weight was 0.42 ± 0.11 g, and average total l...

Material and methods 105 children with a diagnosis of type I allergy to fish, based on history, specific IgE (sIgE, CAP) to codfish (f3) and skin prick tests (SPT) with commercial fish extracts, are included so far. All children undergo open food challenges (OFC) with canned tuna, fresh swordfish or fresh tuna in order to evaluate whether these fishes are tolerated or not by fish allergic child...

The beneficial effects of long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCn-3PUFAs), i.e., eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoicacids (EPA and DHA), on human health have been well documented [1]. Beneficial health effects of omega-3 LC PUFA intake are well demonstrated for prevention of cardiovascular diseases and cancer, as well as in the improvement of a proper development and functioning of...
