objective(s): maternal high-fat diet has been shown to have deleterious effects on the offspring bones. however, there is no study to assess the effects of type and amount of maternal dietary oil in an isocaloric diet, with focus on extra virgin olive oil (evoo). the objective of the current study was to test the hypothesis that type of maternal dietary oil has more effects than its amount in a...

objective: maternal type and amounts of dietary fatty acids affect on reproductive process in the mice. the present study investigated the effects of maternal supplementation with different amounts of omega-6 or omega-9 during pregnancy on the number of offspring, sex-ratio and duration of gestation. materials and methods: eight-week-old female c57bl/6 mice were randomly assigned into four diet...

The effects of dietary 1,3-diacylglycerol-rich oil (DG oil) on glucose and lipid metabolism were investigated in comparison with triacylglycerol (TG) oil in female genetically obese Wistar fatty rats. The obese rats and their lean littermates (8 wk old) were fed a synthetic diet containing 10%, (w/w) DG or TG oil for 5 wk. The body weights, abdominal fat weights, and the plasma and liver TG con...

The effects of dietary 1,3-diacylglycerol-rich oil (DG oil) on biochemical findings related to glucose and lipid metabolisms were investigated in comparison with triacylglycerol oil (TG oil) in normal rats. Young (7 wk-old) and old (8 mo-old) rats were fed a synthetic diet containing 10% (by weight) DC or TG oil for 1, 4, 8, or 12 wk. The body weights, epididymal and perirenal adipose tissue we...

Dietary intake of high trans-fatty acids (TFAs) is well known to increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, few reports demonstrated definitive relationships between dietary TFAs and obesity. In addition, the difference in the gastrointestinal absorption rate of TFAs containing oil from that of cis-FAs containing oil was not taken into consideration in many rat studies. In experimen...

A novel longitudinal feeding design was used to investigate the controlling influence of dietary fatty acids on the dynamic incorporation of fatty-acyl chains into phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and cardiolipin in inner membrane of cardiac mitochondria. Rats were fed a polyunsaturated-fatty-acid-rich oil (soya-bean oil) for 12 days, crossed-over to a monounsaturated-fatty-acid-ri...

Different dietary fat and energy subtypes have an impact on both the metabolic health and the intestinal microbiota population of the host. The present study assessed the impact of dietary fat quality, with a focus on dietary fatty acid compositions of varying saturation, on the metabolic health status and the intestinal microbiota composition of the host. C57BL/6J mice (n 9-10 mice per group) ...

These studies were conducted to determine how plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels respond to dietary cholesterol, fed in increasing amounts with either corn oil or coconut oil diets, in high as compared to low LDL responding baboons; and to determine how apolipoprotein (apo) B transcription levels are modulated in response to dietary lipids. Eight high and eight low LDL resp...

the present study aimed to investigate protective effects of dietary cinnamon essential oil supplementation on decreasing the toxicity of aflatoxin b1 to rainbow trout fingerlings regarding hematological indices, serum biochemistry and liver histopathology. fish were randomly exposed to six distinct treatments composed of different combinations of three dietary aflatoxin (0, 25 and 50 ppb) and ...
