Review: Trans-forming beef to provide healthier fatty acid profiles
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2011-12)
[EN]Trans fatty acids are found naturally in foods, particularly in those derived from ruminant animals, such as beef and dairy cattle. Over the past few decades, human consumption of trans fatty acids has increased, but ...
Short communication: Rapid separation of cis9, trans11- and trans7,cis9-18:2 (CLA) isomers from ruminant tissue using a 30 m SLB-IL111 ionic column
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2011-12)
[EN]Rumenic acid (cis9,trans11-18:2) is the main natural isomer of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Rumenic acid has many purported health benefits, but effects of most other CLA isomers are unknown. Typically trans7,cis9-18:2 ...
Length of concentrate finishing affects the fatty acid composition of grass-fed andgenetically lean beef: an emphasis on trans-18:1 and conjugated linoleic acid profiles
(2011)
Intensively finishing cattle on a high-grain diet is generally used to enhance marbling, whereas extensively finishing on grass is
known to provide improved muscle fatty acid profiles. The objective of this study was to ...
Changes in white adipose tissue metabolism induced by resveratrol in rats
(BioMed Central, 2011-05)
Background: A remarkable range of biological functions have been ascribed to resveratrol. Recently, this polyphenol has been shown to have body fat lowering effects. The aim of the present study was to assess some of the ...
Validity of Resting Energy Expenditure Predictive Equations before and after an Energy-Restricted Diet Intervention in Obese Women
(Public Library of Science, 2011-09-06)
Background: We investigated the validity of REE predictive equations before and after 12-week energy-restricted diet intervention in Spanish obese (30 kg/m(2)>BMI<40 kg/m(2)) women.-- Methods: We measured REE (indirect ...
Stability of the factorial structure of metabolic syndrome from childhood to adolescence : a 6-year follow-up study
(BioMed Central, 2011-09-21)
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors that is considered a predictor of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and mortality. There is no consistent evidence on whether the ...
An Overview on the Field of Micro- and Nanotechnologies for Synthetic Peptide-Based Vaccines
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011)
The development of synthetic peptide-based vaccines has many advantages in comparison with vaccines based on live attenuated organisms, inactivated or killed organism, or toxins. Peptide-based vaccines cannot revert to a ...
Optimization of 100 µm alginate-poly-L-lysine-alginate capsules for intravitreous administration
(Elsevier, 2011-09-24)
The field of cell microencapsulation is advancing rapidly. Particle size plays a critical role in terms of biocompatibility and limits decisively its applicability. Producing reduced size microcapsules involves broadening ...
