We have previously shown that diets enriched with (n-3) fatty acids reduced the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) skin reaction to keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH) in geriatric-Beagles. Although the amount of α-tocopheryl acetate in diets of the previous study exceeded requirements, plasma α-tocopherol concentration was significantly lower in dogs fed the high...
Three studies were designed to evaluate the promoting
effect of cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA) on avian myeloblastosis
virus (AMV) infection in White Leghorn chickens.
In the first study effects on growth parameters, blood serum
and erythrocyte lipid composition of White Leghorn chickens
were investigated at 100 ppm and 300 ppm...
The DNA repair capabilities of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
were studied vising the method of autoradiography. Trout were fed a
semi-purified control diet containing 0 ppm, 50 ppm, or 300 ppm
cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA) for 6-9 weeks. Liver slices were
prepared and exposed in vitro to a control treatment,...
In this five-week feeding study male New Zealand rabbits were
fed diets containing cyclopropene fatty acids (CPFA), diets containing
cholesterol, and diets with both CPFA and cholesterol added to test
the effect of CPFA on cholesterol metabolism and atherosclerosis
induction. When CPFA-fed animals were compared with control
animals, they tended...
