objective: sufficient intakes of docosahexaenoic acid (dha) via breast milk are required for optimizing visual and neural development at early stages of life. little or no information is available on dha intakes and levels found in breast milk in iranian women and surrounding regions. in this study we measure the dha in the breast milk of lactating iranian women from low and high – fish-eating ...

in this study, seasonal variations of fatty acid amounts in muscle tissues of capoeta caelestis were investigated. we have found that the ω3 contents of c. caelestis in spring, summer, autumn and winter were 17.43%, 15.29%, 17.54%, 13.63% in female and 16.96%, 19.25%, 18.66%, 14.76% in male, respectively. the amounts of ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were higher than those of ω6 polyunsaturated...

abstract background: migraine is a primary headache disorder that affects the neurovascular system. recent studies have shown that consumption of some fatty acids such as omega‑3 fatty acids improves migraine symptoms. the aim of the present study is to assess the association between usual intake of fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (epa), docosahexaenoic acid (dha), and saturated fatty...

in current research relationship between eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic acid (dha) (% of total fatty acids) in edible tissue (muscle) of green tiger shrimp (penaeus semisulcatus) and lobster (thenus orientalis) collected from persian gulf, was investigated with some biological factors (total length, total weight and sex). results showed that in all two species, epa and dha perc...

conclusions there was no difference between the effects of 2 g of epa or dha supplementation for 12 weeks on the levels of total cholesterol, ldl-c, hdl-c, tc/hdl-c, tg/hdl-c, and ldl-c/hdl-c; however, it had a desirable effect on the level of tg in a way that the effect of dha was clearer. results from 105 included patients, 97 (31 in epa, 33 in dha, and 33 in control groups) completed the stu...

helicobacter pylori infection, the most common chronic bacterial infection in the world, and an important cause of gastrointestinal disorders, may be involved in the pathogenesis of some extra-gastrointestinal disturbances, as well as an increase in blood levels of certain inflammatory markers. anti-bacterial activity against helicobacter pylori and anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty...

Female Wistar rats, 100 weeks old, were divided into four groups: one group was fed a high-cholesterol diet, one received a non-cholesterol diet, and the others were fed either a non- or a high-cholesterol diet plus docosahexaenoic acid. The level of lipid peroxide (LPO) in brain tissue was measured with a LPO assay kit. Fatty acid concentrations were analyzed by gas chromatography. Brain LPO i...
