BACKGROUND Rat diets high in fish oil have been shown to be protective against ischemia-induced fatal ventricular arrhythmias. Increasing evidence suggests that this may also apply to humans. To confirm the evidence in animals, we tested a concentrate of the free fish-oil fatty acids and found them to be antiarrhythmic. In this study, we tested the pure free fatty acids of the 2 major dietary o...

the biological effects of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are determined by their mutual interactions. this interaction extremely affects various functions. lower consumption of omega-3 during gestation leads to various disorders, even in hearing. we aimed to assess the effect of low omega-3/omega-6 ratios on auditory nerve conduction. in this experimental study, the auditory brainstem response...

within the context of climate change, water scarcity is the major constraint to the viability of many crops. thus, it is necessary to develop strategies for sustainable water management, and introduce alternative crops to sustain the viability of agro-ecosystems. the main objective of this work was to assess the performance of hemp (cannabis sativa l.) subjected to different plant densities and...

background: fatty acids play various physiological roles in the organism; they are crucial for the structure of cell membranes, metabolic processes, transmission of nerve impulses and brain functions. in recent years, particular attention has been paid to the rich sources of omega‑3 for the treatment of many diseases, especially mental illnesses. the present study aimed to investigate the effec...

conclusions our results showed that vitamin e plus omega free fatty acids decrease the severity of mastodynia better than vitamin e alone. results vitamin e plus omega free fatty acids are more effective than the use of vitamin e alone in decreasing mastodynia. significant difference was seen between the cardiff breast score (cbs) of the vitamin e group compared to vitamin e - omega group (p < ...

background: endometriosis is a common chronic inflammation causing major problems including infertility. the role of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as their potential anti-inflammatory effects in endometriosis needs to be further explored. the objective of this study was to compare serum phospholipid fatty acid profile in endometriosis patients with controls, and to explore the correlation of ...
