Enhancing Rats' Diet with Ethyl Esters Derived from Linseed Oil and Examining the Resulting Changes in Their Blood Fatty Acid Profile.

Omega-3 fatty acids are an important factor contributing to the prevention and cure of numerous diseases, and therefore their supplementation with diet is a significant issue. There are numerous supplements on the market containing omega-3 acids, of both plant and animal origin. In our study, we compared an effect of linseed oil, ethyl esters of linseed oil and fish oil supplementation to rats' diet on their blood serum and erythrocyte fatty acid profile.

The Influence of the Microbiome on the Complications of Radiotherapy and Its Effectiveness in Patients with Laryngeal Cancer.

Introduction: Radiotherapy is an effective method of treating cancer and affects 50% of patients. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is a modernized method of classical radiation used in the treatment of laryngeal cancer. Treatment with intent to preserve the larynx is not always safe or complication-free.

Different Sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation vs. Blood Lipid Profiles-A Study on a Rat Model.

Dyslipidemia is a serious condition affecting an increasing number of people, and thus, preventive measures, including supplementation, are being developed. We aimed to compare the effect of linseed oil, its ethyl esters and fish oil supplementation on the serum lipid profiles of rats fed a high-fat diet. Wistar rats were divided into nine groups.

Effect of Aluminum Concentration in Water on Its Toxicity and Bioaccumulation in Zooplankton (Chaoborus and Chironomus) and Carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) Roe.

An attempt to evaluate aluminum toxicity to living organisms was undertaken in the study. A laboratory experiment was conducted to determine aluminum bioaccumulation and toxicity in Chironomus and Chaoborus larvae and in Cyprinus carpio L. roe depending on aluminum concentration in water reflecting natural chemical composition.
