The world's rare selenium resources need to be managed carefully. Selenium is extracted as a by-product of copper mining and there are no deposits that can mined for alone. has unique properties semi-conductor, making it special value industry, but also an essential nutrient humans animals may promote plant growth quality. deficiency regarded major health problem 0.5 1 billion people worldwide, while even larger number consume less than required optimal protection against cancer,...
This paper is based on a workshop held in Oslo, Norway November 2013, which experts discussed how to reach consensus the healthiness of red and processed meat. Recent nutritional recommendations include reducing intake meat reduce cancer risk, particular colorectal (CRC). Epidemiological mechanistic data associations between CRC are inconsistent underlying mechanisms unclear. There need for further studies differences white meat, whole different types meats, as potential health risks may not...
Human health may be improved if dietary intakes of selenium and omega-3 fatty acids are increased. Consumption broiler meat is increasing, the content affected by composition feed. A two-way analyses variance was used to study effect feed containing rich plant oils enriched yeast on composition, antioxidation- sensory parameters. Four different wheat-based treatments supplemented with 5% rapeseed oil or 4% plus 1% linseed oil, either 0.50 mg 0.84 (organic form) per kg diet fed newly hatched...
Background: Cheese is generally rich in saturated fat, which associated with increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, recent reports suggest that cheese may be antiatherogenic.Objective: The goal of this study was to assess whether intake two types Norwegian cheese, widely varying fat and calcium content, might influence factors the metabolic syndrome serum cholesterol levels differently.Design: A total 153 participants were randomized one three groups: Gamalost®, a...
Abstract Thirty pigs averaging 10.3 kg were used to study the effect of fish oil supplementation as a means enrich fat and muscle tissue with n-3 fatty acids elimination five weeks prior slaughter on concentration in these tissues. The diets barley-soybean meal based contained either 3% soy (group A; control), 1% + 2% (groups B C) or D E). Pigs groups fed experimental until day 112 experiment, when they switched control diet at 148. other received same throughout. Fish had no significant...
Peroxide is one of the compounds that are indicated to be toxic in human digestion system. Lean fresh meat samples were collected from beef, lamb, pork and chicken investigate their hydroperoxide formation potential. Total peroxides comminuted raw determined by analysing protein-bound water-methanol chloroform extracted phases. The amount total was ranked as: beef>pork>lamb>chicken. Hydroperoxide examined at different pH values incubation times, using beef samples. All transient, with a...
Chicken meat nutritional value with regard to fatty acid composition and selenium content depends on the choice of dietary oil level used in chickens' feed. The objective this study was investigate effect replacing commonly rendered animal fat as a source saturated acids soybean unsaturated acids, palm red combinations rapeseed oil, linseed two levels enriched yeast chicken breast value. also wished see whether had cholesterol lowering plasma.204 male, newly hatched broiler chickens were...
Tumor volume may serve as a predictor of response to radiochemotherapy (RCT) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Computer assisted tumor volumetry requires time-consuming slice-by-slice manual or semi-automated segmentation. We questioned how accurately primary suspect cervical lymph node (LN) volumes can be approximated by the maximum diameters three dimensions.In contrast-enhanced diagnostic CT scans 74 patients with incident advanced HNSCC, segmentation tumor, total- largest...
Many health effects of oils rich in oleic acid (18:1 n9) seem to be opposite those arachidonic (20:4 n6), i.e. concerning cardiovascular risk. In recent study rats we observed that percentages and were inversely related total serum lipids. the present work investigate whether an inverse relationship between this couple fatty acids also exists phospholipid fraction human sera. The group consisted 11 men 35 women. Mean age was 23.8 ± 2.5 years (mean SD), body mass index 23.5 3.2 kg/m2. After...
Background: Dairy products account for approximately 60% of the iodine intake in Norwegian population. The concentration cow's milk varies considerably, depending on feeding practices, season, and amount rapeseed cow fodder. variation affects risk deficiency or excess population.Objective: first goal this study was to develop a model predict based glucosinolate feed, as tool securing stable milk. A second aim estimate impact different levels nutrition population.Design: Two models were...
Abstract A feeding experiment involving histidine supplementation to broiler feed resulted in increased concentration of the containing dipeptides anserine and carnosine breast muscle. Supplementation with 1 g per kg gave a 64% increase carnosine, about 10% The standard concentrate now use Norway seems contain less than what may be needed for optimal synthesis anserine. These have important roles as antioxidants, pH buffering agents anti-glycation agents. They meat increasing its stability,...
The concentration of omega-3 fatty acids and selenium (Se) is generally too low in the Western diet. But as nutrient composition pork meat adipose tissue influenced by feed given to animals, product can be changed support demands. Half (297/594) pigs were a concentrate based on low-glucosinolate rapeseed products (RS), while other half was fed traditional (Contr): RS had an omega-6/omega-3 ratio 3.6:1, Contr 8.9:1, both feeds supplemented with 0.4 mg Se/kg (organic Se: inorganic Se, 1:1)....
The conversions of the n-3 and n-6 fatty acid plant origin to C20 C22 very long chain acids (LCPUFAs) is regulated by several cellular enzymes such as elongases desaturases. Sixty-five male one-day old chickens (Ross 308) were randomly divided into four groups given one diets; with or without linseed oil (LO), (the diets contained equal amounts fat) low high selenium (Se). Final body weight, amount Se fat in breast muscle, profile, gene expression for desaturases (Fads1, Fads2, Fads9),...
ABSTRACT We have examined the association between cheese intake and serum lipids in cross‐sectional Oslo Health Study (18,770 subjects), using ANOVA linear regression. In both sexes most of four age groups, i.e., young (30 years), middle‐aged (40 45 seniors (59–60) old (75–76 was negatively associated with triacylglycerol (TAG) positively high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) ( P < 0.05 for trend). whole material, HDL 1.38 (1.36–1.40), 1.44 (1.42–1.45), 1.50 (1.49–1.51) 1.57 (1.56–1.58) mmol/L...
Chicken meat with reduced concentration of arachidonic acid (AA) and ratio between omega-6 omega-3 fatty acids has potential health benefits because a reduction in AA intake dampens prostanoid signaling, the proportion is too high our diet. Analyses for determination are expensive, finding optimal number analyses to give reliable results challenge. The objective present study was i) analyse intraclass correlation different five samples, one gram each, within same chicken thigh, ii)...
Since the amounts of arachidonic acid (AA) and EPA in food may have implications for human health, we investigated whether a small change chicken feed influenced blood lipid concentration humans ingesting chicken. Forty-six young healthy volunteers (age 20–29) were randomly allocated into two groups double-blind dietary intervention trial, involving ingestion about 160 g meat per day 4 weeks. The ingested was either from chickens given concentrate resembling commercial feed, containing 4%...
Since many health effects of oils rich in oleic acid (18:1, n-9) seem to be opposite those arachidonic (20:4, n-6), i.e. concerning cardiovascular risk, we examined whether % 18:1 might negatively associated with 20:4. Fatty separation by gas chromatography was performed total serum lipids 36 male rats. Using bivariate correlations and multiple linear regressions studied the association between acid. We found an inverse relationship (r = -0.885, p < 0.001; n 36) percentages 20:4 rat serum,...
