Edible plant oils have been made known to be exciting sources of bioactive compounds making them a suitable alternative in the management of some human diseases. Pumpkin and linseed oils are high in Omega-3 & Omega-6 are considered the utmost vital essential fatty acids that the body cannot...

The microbiota gut-brain axis (mGBA) is an important contributor to mental health and neurological and mood disorders. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are endotoxins that are components of Gram-negative bacteria cell walls and have been widely shown to induce both systemic and neuro-inflammation....

Obesity is known to be partially influenced by low-grade inflammation caused by pro-inflammatory cytokines and excess adipose tissue. Flaxseed contains secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) and α-linolenic acid (ALA) that have been shown to prevent pro-inflammatory cytokine production and...

High-fat diets are linked with obesity and changes in dopamine neurotransmission. Mounting evidence shows that saturated fat impacts dopamine neurons and their terminal fields, but little is known about the effect a diet high in unsaturated fat has on the dopamine system. This study sought to...

This work aimed to histologically evaluate the adequacy of the two-hybrid diets for Balb/c mice based on integral chia and flax flour and other natural ingredients typical of Northeast Argentina. Balb/c mice were randomly distributed into 3 groups (n=10/group) and fed diet A (commercial control), B ...

Marine sourced N3-PUFA regulate lipid metabolism in adipose tissue and liver; however, less is known about plant sourced N3-PUFA. The goal of this study was to investigate plant and marine N3-PUFA regulation of fatty acid trafficking along the adipose tissue-liver axis according to nutritional...

Background: Flaxseed oil (FO) is an alpha linolenic acid source important for growth and body development. However, there is little literature on the role of FO in critical stages of bone development and formation. Objective: This study evaluated the influence of a diet containing FO on rat femurs. ...

Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) is composed of a unique combination of bioactive components that appear to generate, through either an isolated or a synergistic action, a significant beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. With a significant increase in the generation of data on the dietary...

Recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that flaxseed supplementation beneficially improves glycemic control; however, there is no consensus on this issue. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to investigate the effect of flaxseed and its products on glycemic control...

Nonconventional protein isolates were prepared from defatted oilseeds (sesame, flaxseed, and canola). Bioevaluation was performed via growth study parameters i.e., protein efficiency ratio (PER), net protein ratio (NPR), and relative net protein ratio (RNPR). The highest values for these parameters ...
