Flaxseed
Definition:
(n.) The seed of the flax; linseed.
Example Sentences:

(3) [I was] over-thinking food choices,” she says, “and trying to get more protein, more energy density, the correct macro-nutrient ratios… after which I got so exhausted I just chose nothing because it was easier than feeling guilty about the ‘wrong’ choice.” She continues: “The current obsession with health, image and fitness is way out of kilter [with] self-care.” It raises the question: in our seemingly flaxseed and clean eating-obsessed Instagram culture, just how many women are hiding an eating disorder behind a healthy lifestyle obsession?
(4) Four levels of dietary flaxseed oil were fed in combination with animal tallow to give a total of 6% added fat in the diets.
(5) Although flaxseed feeding at the initiation stage also tended to reduce the number of tumors per tumor-bearing animal, significant differences were seen only between the group fed flaxseed throughout the experiment and the promotional group.
(6) Supplementation of a high-fat diet with flaxseed flour (FF) or defatted flaxseed meal (FM) (5% or 10%) reduced the epithelial cell proliferation by 38.8-55.4% and nuclear aberrations by 58.8-65.9% in female rat mammary gland, with optimum effects seen with the 5% FF.
(7) Therefore the effect of flaxseed on mammary tumorigenesis is not consistent.
(8) Today, Planet Organic shops in London stock 1kg bags of Tobia Teff flour (£7 each), while 300g packets of its teff breakfast cereal sit alongside milled flaxseed and organic, sugar-free Swiss muesli, and cost £5.44 The company also sells readymade, gluten-free teff bread with raisin, onion, sunflower and other varieties.
(9) Feeding flaxseed oil resulted in increased accumulation of omega 3 fatty acids in skeletal muscle lipids.
(10) Although it was speculated that the effect may be related to the lignans enterolactone and enterodiol produced in such large quantities on the ingestion of flaxseed, further studies are required to clarify the role of lignans and other flaxseed constituents in mammary tumorigenesis.
(11) cis-12-Oxophytodienoic acid (cis-12-oxo-PDA) is a C18 cyclopentenone formed from the 13-(S)-hydroperoxide of linolenic acid in flaxseed and other plant tissues.

(17) These reactions appear analogous to the transformation of linolenic acid hydroperoxide by "isomerase" and "cyclase" of corn and flaxseed.
(18) Since flaxseed ingestion produces potentially anticarcinogenic lignans in the colon, this study determined whether flaxseed decreases the risk for colon carcinogenesis.
(19) Experiments were conducted to assess the effect of feeding flaxseed oil on the performance, muscle protein deposition, and fatty acid composition of broiler chicks.
(20) Characterization of the dehydrase enzyme of flaxseed revealed that it is a 55-kilodalton hemoprotein.
