gamma linolenic acid/トウモロコシ

OBJECTIVE Proinflammatory eicosanoids (cyclooxgenase and lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid) released by alveolar macrophages play an important role in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. We investigated the effect of prefeeding rats for 21 days with enteral diets that provided the

The effects of pure gamma-linolenic acid (GLA; C18:3, n-6) and dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA; C20:3, n-6) were investigated in 7,12-dimethylbenz(alpha)anthracene (DMBA) (10 mg/rat)-induced mammary tumors in Sprague-Dawley rats. 0.15 g of GLA, DGLA, or corn oil (CO) were administered (two times

Macrophages and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are two of the major reactive cell types in atherosclerosis, a disease characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of SMCs. The present study was designed to determine how dietary oils containing gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) (primrose oil [PO]) and long-chain

We have utilized transgenic technology to develop a new source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) using the canola plant as a host. The aim of the present study was to compare the growth and fatty acid metabolism in rats fed equal amounts of GLA obtained from the transgenic canola plant relative to GLA

We previously demonstrated that macrophages isolated from mice fed gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)-enriched diets reduce vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation in a cyclooxygenase-dependent fashion and may therefore favorably modulate the atherogenic process. The present study was conducted to

We compared the dietary effects of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) contained in the DGLA oil produced by a fungus with gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) on the fatty acid composition. Wistar rats were fed with three kinds of oil for two weeks as follows: (i) control group: corn oil; (ii) GLA group:

The comparative effects of high-fat diets (20%, w/w) on eicosanoid synthesis during mammary tumor promotion in 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced rats were studied using diets containing 20% primrose oil (PO), 20% menhaden oil (MO) or 20% corn oil (CO). Sprague-Dawley rats fed the PO or

To compare the atherogenecity of different fats and oils, a total of forty, 40-day-old male Japanese quails were fed one of the following diets for three months: basal diet (control), a diet-containing 15% corn oil (CO) and 2% cholesterol (CH), a diet-containing 15% oleic acid (OL) and 2% CH, a

The ability of dietary gamma-linolenic acid [18:3(n-6)] to modulate prostaglandin biosynthesis in mouse resident peritoneal macrophages was determined. Mice were fed diets containing corn oil, borage oil or evening primrose oil or a mixture of borage and fish oils. After 2 wk, resident peritoneal

A deficiency in essential fatty acid metabolism has been reported in diabetes. Nutritional supplementations with (n-6) or (n-3) PUFA have differential efficiency on parameters of diabetic neuropathy, including nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and nerve blood flow (NBF). The aim of this study was to

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether a diet enriched with fish and borage oils, with their high polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content, alters surfactant composition and function during endotoxemia. METHODS Prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled animal study. METHODS Research laboratory at a

The present study was conducted to evaluate the antiatherogenic effects of dietary gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) (primrose oil) in apolipoprotein E (apoE) genetic knockout mice. Five-wk-old male mice were fed cholesterol-free diets containing 10 g/100 g lipid as corn oil (CO) [control diet, 0 mol/100

This study was carried out to find out the effect of supplying gamma linolenic acid (GLA) on laying performance and egg quality. A hundred twenty of 30 weeks old hyline brown laying hens with 98% of egg production were completely randomized to 4 different treatment groups by 30 hens (the control

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different doses and sources of dietary gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) on the tissue phospholipid fatty acid composition. Rats fed four different levels of GLA (2.3, 4.6, 6.4 and 16.2 g of GLA/kg diet) in the form of either borage oil or evening

The modulating effect of dietary enrichment in mistol seed oil (MO) containing 25% of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), evening primrose oil (EPO) enriched in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and corn oil (CO) as sources of omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids on the growth parameters of one transplantable mammary
