two omega-3 fatty acids including docosahexaenoic acid (dha) and eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) are essential for the physiologic function of neuronal cell membrane. normal function of neuronal cell membrane requires appropriate composition of fatty in its structure. present study was designed to compare the effect of short-term and long-term pretreatment with omega-3 fatty acids on scopolamine-in...

a 42-d study was conducted to evaluate the influence of full-fat flaxseed (fs) and canola seed (cs) on broiler performance, fatty acid (fa) profile of meat, and the oxidative stability of meat during frozen storage. a total of 324 one-day old broiler chicks were randomly attributed to 6 experimental groups and fed iso-energetic and isonitrogenous diets as follows, c: control (soybean-corn); cs1...

Background Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids on pregnant women with major depressive disorder (MDD).
