Thirty-six adult severe head injury and cerebral stroke patients in four intensive-care units were randomized to receive one of three enteral diets for 21 days. These diets, which supplied 45% of calories from fat, differed only in lipid composition. Diet A was comprised of 100% soybean oil, diet B

Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in red blood cell membranes was studied in 32 severely head-injured or cerebral stroke patients receiving enteral nutrition for 3 weeks. During this study the effects of three diets differing only by their lipid composition were investigated. The daily energy

Nisha Amalaki (NA), formulation with Curcuma longa Linn (Turmeric, Haridra, Nisha in Sanskrit; Family: Zingiberaceae) and Phyllanthus emblica Linn (Indian gooseberry, Amlaki in Sanskrit; Family: Phyllanthaceae) which is described for various diseases including diabetes in ayurvedic texts and

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ovarian hormone withdrawal and a high fructose diet on the development of atherogenic dyslipidemia in rats. Because amla (Indian gooseberry) is known to possess hypolipidemic properties, its preventive effect on the above was also

The effect of supplementation of three fruits, Indian gall nut, bedda nut and gooseberry, on serum lipid levels and excretion of bile acids was investigated. Rats made hypercholesterolemic by feeding hypercholesterolemia inducing diet (HID) for a period of 30 days were used as the test model.

Emblica officinalis Gaertn., commonly known as the Indian gooseberry or "Amla", has been used as health food for centuries in India and other Asian countries. The biological effects of amla have been attributed to the antioxidant properties of the low-molecular weight hydrolysable tannins present in

Dietary-treated phenylketonuric patients (PKUs) display low levels of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in plasma lipids. In a 6-month clinical trial we observed a decrease of triglycerides and an increase of n-3 long-chain PUFA in plasma of PKUs supplemented with fish oil, while no

Pancreatic lipase is the most important enzyme in digestion of triglycerides. Reduction of energy intake from dietary fat through inhibition of this enzyme may be a strategy to prevent and treat obesity. In this study, the effect of 31 fruit extracts on pancreatic lipase was investigated using

Guinea pigs were fed one of three diets containing 10% black currant seed oil (a source of gamma-linolenic (18:3 n-6) and stearidonic (18:4 n-3) acids), walnut oil or lard for 40 days. The fatty acid composition of liver triglycerides, free fatty acids, cholesteryl esters, phosphatidylinositol,

Blackcurrant oil soft capsule (BOSC) is an effective and safe herbal medicine for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and has been approved for the market in China. No studies have been performed, however, to confirm whether BOSC is effective in reducing the serum lipid level in a large-scale ordinary

OBJECTIVE It was hypothesised that blackcurrant seed oil beneficially modulates metabolic disorders related to obesity and its complications. The study also aimed to investigate the potentially adverse effects of an unbalanced diet on the distal intestine. METHODS Male Wistar rats were randomly

OBJECTIVE The consumption of a high level of dietary extract from blackcurrant pomace rich in polyphenols was hypothesised to exert beneficial effects on the serum lipid profile, the markers of insulin resistance and the antioxidant status of the host without negative changes in the intestinal

Increased fructose ingestion has been linked to obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and hypertension associated with metabolic syndrome. Blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum; BC) is a horticultural crop in Europe. To induce metabolic syndrome, Sprague-Dawley rats were fed 60% high-fructose diet. Treatment
