sphingomyelin/rapeseed

The influence of long duration rapeseed oil feeding with high or low levels of erucic acid has been investigated on rat heart phospholipids. The rats treated for 20 wk with rapeseed oil containing 46.2% erucic acid showed a twofold increase in the sphingomyelin content of the heart. Treatment with

Fifty-six male Wistar SPF rats were fed a diet containing low erucic acid rapeseed (LEAR) oil (15% by weight) as the only source of lipids for 18 wk. Lipid parameters (fatty acid composition and contents of lipid classes) and the occurrence and severity of focal lesions were both determined on the

The amount of fatty acids in free ceramides and sphingomyelins and the biosynthesis of sphingomyelins were measured in lung microsomes of rats fed either a stock diet or semisynthetic diets containing 15% by weight of sunflower oil or rapeseed oil (48% erucic acid). The rapeseed oil diet increased

A mixture of albumin-bound [14C]erucate and [3H]oleate was injected into rats fed a stock pellet diet containing 4% by weight of lipid. Chylomicrons containing the same labelled fatty acids were also injected into rats fed diets containing 15% by weight of rapeseed oil (48% of erucic acid), canbra

Male wistar rats fed purified diets containing 15% sunflower oil (SF) by weight, high erucic acid rapeseed oil (HEAR) or low erucic acid rapeseed oil (LEAR) for 12 weeks and subjected to a moderate treadmill running program were compared with sedentary animals fed the same diets on the basis of

This research paper addresses the hypothesis that calcium salts combined with whole linseed and heat-treated rapeseed cake in one feed additive may efficiently stimulate the productivity of dairy cows and have a positive effect on the functional (health-promoting) properties of milk fat. The article

This study was undertaken to determine whether the neonate was more susceptible to the effects of dietary erucic acid (22:1n-9) than the adult. Newborn piglets were used to assess the safety of different levels of 22:1n-9 on lipid and histological changes in the heart. Newborn piglets showed no

Weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets containing 20% by weight corn, soybean or low erucic acid rapeseed oils or mixtures of the latter two with cocoa butter or triolein for 1, 2, 3 or 4 weeks. These diets previously had been fed to the same strain of rats for 16 weeks, and a reduction in

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed for one week diets containing 20% by weight fat/oil mixtures with different levels of erucic acid (22:1n-9) (approximately 2.5 or 9%) and total saturated fatty acids (approximately 8 or 35%). Corn oil and high erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR) oil were fed as controls.
