acid (EPA, 20 :5, n-3). In this study, we inyestigated the interaction of sesamin and EPA on A5 desaturation of both series and the n-61n-3 fatty acids ratio by measuring actural fatty acid contents in vivo. Rats vvere fed three types of dietary oils; 1) lino]eic a id (LA, 18:2, n-6); linolenic a id (LLA, 18:3, n-3)= 3:1, n-61n-3 ratio of 3:1 (LA group), 2) LA:LLA =1:3, n-6fn-3 ratio of 1:3 (LL...

background and objective: parkinson's disease (pd) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease with selective damage of dopaminergic neurons of the mesencephalon. l-dihydroxyphenylamine (l-dopa) therapy is currently the gold standard maneuver for pd. due to the protective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effect of sesamin, this study was undertaken to assess dose-dependent effect of thi...

Sesamin has anti-oxidative functions in vivo. Fatigue is caused in part by oxidative stress. We evaluated whether sesame lignans (sesamin/episesamin=1/1, 10 mg) with vitamin E (55 mg of alpha-tocopherol) (SVE) could improve subjective statuses and anti-oxidative capacity in humans using questionnaires on fatigue, sleep and physical appearance, as well as low-density lipoprotein oxidation lag ti...

In order to discover the effect of CLA on the body fat size and serum cytokine levels, four groups of male mice were fed diets containing either 1% linoleic acid (LA) or conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) with or without 0.2% sesamin for 8 weeks. The weight gain and feed efficiency were significantly lower in the CLA groups. CLA significantly reduced relative weights (g/100 g body weight) of epidid...
