Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions:
Dietary n-3 PUFA enrichment may improve the immune response and IBD resistance, but the optimum performance does not coincide with the optimum immune response. It seems that dietary n-3 PUFA modulates the broiler chicken performance and immune response in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, a moderate level of dietary n-3 PUFA enrichment may help to put together the efficiency of performance and relative immune response enhancement in broiler chickens.

Conclusions:
The torque%, viscosity (cp) and SS (dyne/cm2) of all GNP sizes decreased with increasing the temperature and with decreasing the GNP size (for each fixed temperature value). For each shear rate value, the viscosity of all GNPs decreased with decreasing the GNP size. This study demonstrates that the physical, dimensional and morphological changes of GNPs have effective influence on their rheological properties. To understand and categorize the role of GNPs in drug delivery and cancer therapy, GNPs of varying size, number of particles, shape and surface should be taken into consideration. Moreover, further addit...

AbstractSummary: The main proposal of this study was to evaluate whether cold‐pressed flaxseed oil (CFO), vitamin E‐enriched hot pressed and totally refined flaxseed oils (HRFO) characterized by different qualities of micronutrients would have beneficial effects on lipid profile and antioxidant status in high‐fat fed rats. Male Wistar rats were fed synthetic diets containing 10% of HRFO, CFO, low‐dose (100 mg/100g oil) vitamin E‐enriched HRFO (L‐HRFO) or high‐dose (200 mg/100g oil) vitamin E‐enriched HRFO (H‐HRFO) respectively for 4 weeks. The results showed that plasma TG, TC and LDL‐C levels in CF...

AbstractFour blends formulated with low saturated fatty acid content, with the saturated component rich in stearic acid were prepared from shea stearin, interesterified shea stearin, fully hardened soybean oil and high oleic sunflower oil in order to study their performance as shortenings in puff pastry products. The blends had a low saturated fatty acid content (30.1 ± 1.1%) compared to butter (65.9%). Saturates in the four blends examined came mainly from SSS, SOS, SSO and SOO. Puff pastry prepared from the blend that contained SOS as the main source of saturates had better properties than the other blends. It was s...

Optimum conditions (volume of added ethanol as a co‐solvent, dynamic extraction time ‐ DET, and pressure) were predicted in order to obtain the maximum yield of the extract. Response surface methodology (RSM) and central composite rotatable design (CCRD) were used for modelling the process. Variable values ranged as follows: co‐solvent 0–1 ml, DET 36–60 min, and pressure 45.57–62.05...

The serum lipid levels of patients with idiopathic PAP were compared with those of the healthy volunteers. In patients and healthy subjects, the LDL-C/HDL-C ratios were 2.94+/-1.21 and 1.60+/-0.70, respectively (p (Source: Lipids in Health and Disease)

In this study, the methodology of shift reagents was exploited to distinguish cis and trans unsaturation in oils and fats. The differential binding of silver ions (in the form of AgFOD) to cis and trans double bonds allowed the separation of the allylic and olefinic proton signals in the 1H NMR spectra of mixtures of cis and trans methyl esters of monoene aliphatic acids and unsaturated triacylglycerol mixtures at low frequency spectrometers (300 MHz). Careful integration of the appropriate proton resonances in the recorded quantitative 1H NMR spectra afforded percentage concentrations in very good agreement with the act...

AbstractSummary: Determination of the main phytosterols (β‐sitosterol and campesterol) and cholesterol precursors (desmosterol and lathosterol) in human serum using a simple gas chromatography‐flame ionization detector (GC‐FID) method has been validated. Direct saponification, without lipid extraction, sterols extraction and further derivatization was applied to samples prior to GC analysis. To evaluate the method, a pool of serum samples from 8 healthy women was used. Good linearity (r > 0.99) was found in the assay range: β‐sitosterol (0.99‐17.82 µg/mL), campesterol (0.14‐10.8 µg/mL), desmoster...

Acute treatment with E.O. before BCCAO/R elicits changes both in the frontal cortex, where the BCCAO/R-induced decrease of DHA is apparently prevented and COX-2 expression decreases, and in plasma, where PEA and OEA levels and DHA biosynthesis increase. It is suggested that the increase of PEA and OEA plasma levels may induce DHA biosynthesis via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha activation, protecting brain tissue from ischemia/reperfusion injury.

In this study, fats blends with the same level of saturated fatty acid content (50%) but differing in the ratio asymmetric/symmetric blends were evaluated by pNMR and texturometry as a function of storage time and storage temperature. A higher trisaturated TAG content gave rise to a higher SFC at higher temperature and a lower SFC at lower temperature for both palmitic and stearic based blends. On the other hand, the effect of symmetry on the SFC‐profile of the blends was only clear for the stearic based blends. At lower temperatures, the SFC of symmetric TAG based blend (blend SM) was markedly lower than of asymmetric T...

This study indicated that the composition and content of wax, policosanol and long‐chain aldehydes may vary depending on the cultivar of the sugarcane and the specific part of the sugarcane analyzed, as well as on the degree of sugarcane maturity.Practical applicationsThe practical application of this study is that different sugarcane cultivars have been evaluated in terms of their usefulness as a source of policosanol, which is a valuable wax component that may have beneficial effects on human health. Policosanol is the common name that refers to a group of long‐chain (C20‐C30) aliphatic primary alcohols that are of...

This study tests the hypothesis that treatment with fish oil will attenuate inflammatory responses and stabilize hemodynamics. Methods: Male SD rats (n = 48; 250~300 g) were randomly divided into 4 groups: SHAM, hemorrhagic shock (HS), hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation (HS/R) and fish oil (FO). Shock was induced, and a mean arterial pressure (MAP) was maintained at 35 to 40 mmHg for 60 minutes. Resuscitation was carried out by returning half of the shed blood and Ringer's lactate solution to the animal. In FO group, fish oil (0.2g/Kg) was infused through caudal vena at 30 minutes after shock. Half of each group was killed at...
