serum total fatty acids were estimated in controls and women using the oral contraceptives eugynon (containing 0.5 mg.of norgestron and 0.05 mg ethinyl oestradiol) and lyndiol (containing 2.5 mg. of linostrol and 0.05 mg of ethiny oestradiol) for periods ranging from 8 to 110 weeks. the serum total fatty acids level was found to be approximately 70% higher in the women using oral contraceptives...

serum fatty acids on 30 healthy lranian women were detemined by a gas chromatographic method. oleic and stearic acids were used as standards. the mean values were myristic acid 5. 7% , palmitic acid 43% , palmitoleic acid 5.3% , stearic acid 8% , oleic acid 21. 3% and linleic acid 16.4% of total fatty acid serum contents.

Correlation between fatty acids intake, serum lipid and lipoproteins with serum creatinine and kidney function in patients with renal failure has been suggested by other investigators. This relationship has not been reported for all types of fatty acids. This study was conducted to determine the association of the consumption of different type of fatty acids, serum lipids and lipoproteins with ...

objectives the link between dietary fat and heart disease has been established for decades. although, the atherogenic effect of saturated fatty acids is somehow controversial, the cardioprotective effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa) are clearly documented. this study investigated the effects of different dietary oils on serum fatty acid composition in rat. methods six week male wistar...

introduction regular intake of n-3 fatty acids of marine origin have desirable effects on serum lipoproteins and reduce coronary vascular disease (cvd). n-3 fatty acid supplementation decreased serum triglyceride concentrations in studies in which most of the subjects were male. the effects of n-3 fatty acids supplementation in fat women especially postmenopausal fat women have received little ...

background: it has been shown that serum total homocysteine (hc) is a risk factor for vascular disease which characterizes endothelial damage in the general and in the end-stage renal disease (esrd) population as well. whether n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids decrease homocysteine (hcy) level has been a subject of controversy. methods: renal transplant patients were randomized in 2 groups and re...

introduction: cholesterol and fatty acids are two important components of the lipids. various fatty acids have different effects on plasma lipoproteins. consumption of saturated fatty acids tends to increase total plasma and ldl cholesterol levels. while  polyunsaturated fatty acids reduce both ldl and hdl cholesterol, edible oil rich in monounsaturated fatty acid (mufa) however, tend to lower ...

Numerous studies have examined relationships between disease biomarkers (such as blood lipids) and levels of circulating or cellular fatty acids. In such association studies, fatty acids have typically been expressed as the percentage of a particular fatty acid relative to the total fatty acids in a sample. Using two human cohorts, this study examined relationships between blood lipids (TAG, an...

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to have both anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory effects through inducing the expression and production of adipokines. Adipokines such as apelin, have been observed to play a protective role in the incidence and progression of CVD. The aim of this study was to assess the ...
