  • Protocols, pathways, peptides and the aorta : relationship to atherosclerosis

    Creator:
    Walsh, Marilyn L.
    Abstract:
    The vascular system transports components essential to the survival of the individual and acts as a barrier to substances that may injure the organism. Atherosclerosis is a dynamic, lesion producing disease of the arterial system that compromises the functioning of the organ by occlusive and thrombogenic processes. This investigation was...

  • Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and immune responses in poultry

    Creator:
    Selvaraj, Ramesh Kumar
    Abstract:
    Three experiments were conducted to study the influence of dietary fatty acids on the production performance and immune response of chickens. In experiment I, forty day-old broiler chicks were fed diets containing 5% of either animal fat + conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) (Diet I), sunflower oil (Diet II), flax oil...

  • Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and leukotriene production in poultry

    Creator:
    Jha, Shantibhushan
    Abstract:
    Inflammation is the body's response to injury and is characterized by pain, swelling, redness, and heat. Eicosanoids are lipid mediators of inflammation. Leukotrienes (LT) are 20-carbon eicosanoids produced from arachidonic acid (AA), an n-6 fatty acid (FA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an n-3 FA. LT produced from AA are proinflammatory...

  • Extraction and production of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid concentrate from Pacific sardines (Sardinops sagax)

    Creator:
    Okada, Tomoko
    Abstract:
    Intrinsic characteristics of Pacific sardines were determined. The lipid content in sardines was initially low (6.79%) in the beginning ofthe season, increased to 22.95% in mid-August, and decreased slightly by the end of September. An inverse correlation (R² = -0.90) was found between lipid and moisture content. Analysis showed that...

  • Breeding tools for Cuphea : An updated genetic linkage map and fatty acid mutant candidate gene analysis

    Creator:
    Powers, Carol Anne
    Abstract:
    Medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) are important industrial feedstocks for soaps, detergents and surfactants. Interspecific lines derived from Cuphea lanceolata and Cup hea viscosissima are being domesticated as a temperate source of MCFAs. These species also serve as model organisms for understanding the biosynthesis of MCFAs in seeds. Various markers...

  • Effect of dietary fatty acids, time of feeding and immune response in poultry

    Creator:
    Gonzalez, Dulmelis
    Abstract:
    In the presence of internal or external stressors, the body requires sources of energy that aide cells to combat inflammation. Fatty acids are an important source of energy and are vital components of cell membranes. Dietary fatty acids (n-6 and n-3) are of importance in immune function because they are...

  • Polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism in broiler chickens : effects of maternal diet

    Creator:
    Bautista Ortega, Jaime
    Abstract:
    Three experiments were conducted in broiler hens to study the influence of dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on egg quality, antioxidant status in progeny, and eicosanoid production in tissue. The objective of experiment 1 was to determine the effect of hen age and dietary n-3 PUFA on egg quality...

  • Exercise, nutrition, and homocysteine

    Creator:
    Joubert, Lanae Marie
    Abstract:
    Exercise increases B-vitamin (B6, B12, folate) dependent metabolic reactions, especially those related to energy production and the rebuilding and repairing of muscle tissue. These same B-vitamins are also important in maintaining low blood levels of homocysteine (Hcy), a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Hcy levels rise when the metabolism of...

  • Evaluating the fatty acid signature technique for studies of diet composition inpiscivorous waterbirds

    Creator:
    Myers, Anne Mary
    Abstract:
    This research was designed to evaluate the Fatty Acid Signature (FAS) technique as a non-lethal alternative to more traditional, and sometimes destructive, methods of studying the diet composition of piscivorous birds. Specifically we tested the technique with Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) which currently nest in large numbers in the Columbia...
