(17) Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were fed diets enriched with evening primrose (EPO), sunflower (SO) and linseed oils (LO) as well as palm kernel fat (PKF), the latter being deficient in polyunsarated fatty acids (PUFA).
(18) It could be a metabolite of one trans isomeric linolenic acid formed during the heat treatment of linseed oil.
(19) Levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5n-3) were increased (P less than .05), compared with the controls fed the same level of corn oil, in the groups fed the two higher levels of linseed oil, and in all the groups fed menhaden oil.
(20) Dietary linseed oil and fish oil lowered the arachidonic (C20:4, omega 6) acid content of rat liver microsomes, with an accompanying increase in membrane eicosapentaenoic (C20:5, omega 3) and docosahexaenoic (C22:6, omega 3) acid content, in comparison with the group fed beef tallow.
Oilseed
Definition:
(n.) Seed from which oil is expressed, as the castor bean; also, the plant yielding such seed. See Castor bean.
(n.) A cruciferous herb (Camelina sativa).
(n.) The sesame.
Example Sentences:
(1) Several oilseed and legume protein products were fed to rats as the sole source of dietary protein, and in blends with cereals for the determination of protein efficiency ratio (PER) and biological availability of amino acids.
(2) The use of vegetable proteins such as legumes or oilseeds proteins is often restricted by antinutritional or toxic factors.
(3) Each field is like a room: mostly wheat or pasture but occasionally barley, oilseed rape, maize or broad beans.
(4) The presented results proof in tendency that oilseed-rape (00-rape seed), wheat, and barley as green plants can contribute in clostridial toxicosis in hares, whereas grass and beets are involved only partially, and clover is practically completely atoxigenic.
(5) Protecting oilseed rape crops with a controversial nicotine-like pesticide has led to the loss of honeybee colonies across England and Wales, a government-backed study has found.
(6) Some doctors have suggested that oilseed rape may sensitise people to pollen or cross-react with grass pollen to cause problems.
(7) Thus, they cannot provide oilseed rape farmers with alternative solutions to this autumn's flea beetle infestation.
(8) Favourable weather elsewhere in the world has meant that harvests of oilseed crops have been plentiful and prices have been falling.
(9) We showed that the chimeric gene is active in both developing cortex cells in the root apical meristems of transgenic oilseed rape seedlings and in cortex cells at the root end of embryonic axes.
(11) Oilseed rape is likely to be particularly damaging , according to the researchers, because the active compounds of the neonicotinoid pesticides are not just applied to the surface but expressed in the plant’s tissues, meaning that bees can ingest the chemicals in the nectar and pollen of affected crops.
(12) In addition oilseed protein isolates were fed to mice for the determination of PER.
(13) Growers also operate to exceptionally high standards and in the UK industry has set up voluntary schemes to improve best practice, schemes such as the voluntary initiative on pesticide ensure that over 90% of the sprayed areas is sprayed by equipment that is annually tested to ensure it is fit for purpose and minimises any environmental risks.” 3.53pm BST Syngenta's statement that there are no alternatives to neonicotinoids for some oilseed rape farmers is "probably relatively true" says CAB International (Cabi) scientist David Moore, "in that there are not many good alternatives in a system that is bound over by the use of chemical pesticides".
