Linseed
Definition:
(n.) The seeds of flax, from which linseed oil is obtained.
Example Sentences:
(1) From the unsaponifiable fraction (63 g) of linseed oil (25 kg), two terpenic alcohols were isolated by alumina column, thin-layer, and gas-liquid chromatography.

(3) High responses to insulin in the epididymal fat cells were obtained with sunflowerseed oil, linseed oil and olive oil, whereas low responses were found for cocoa butter, palm oil or coconut oil.
(4) The analysis of hydrogenated cyclic fatty acid monomers isolated from heated linseed and sunflower oils is achieved by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry of their pentafluorobenzyl esters.
(5) The dietary treatments did not produce significant differences in tumour incidence and mortality, but tumour size was decreased by diets supplying omega-3 fatty acids: in the EL4 mice tumour weight was markedly depressed by linseed oil, compared to soya-bean oil, whereas thymoma tumour weight was lowest in mice receiving fish oil and highest in the soya-bean oil group.
(6) The effect of feeding semipurified diets enriched in linseed (rich in C18:3, omega 3 fatty acid) or fish (rich in C20:5, omega 3 and C22:6, omega 3 fatty acid) oil with and without cholesterol supplementation on the desaturation of linoleic acid (C18:2, omega 6) by rat liver microsomal fractions was investigated.
(7) Feeding diets high in cholesterol or fish oil increased basal and LH-stimulated testosterone synthesis relative to that in animals fed the low cholesterol diet containing linseed oil.
(8) A methanol extract of linseed meal did not interfere with the normal increase in plasma glutathione peroxidase activity in chicks fed diets supplemented with low levels of selenium even though the extract counteracted the growth depression obtained by adding 20 ppm selenium.
