Comparison of fish oil supplements and corn oil effects on serum lipid profile: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of fish oil supplements compared to corn oil on serum lipid profiles by performing a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Methods: Online databases including PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched until 30 December 2022. Pooled effect sizes were reported as the weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

The association between toxic metals (As, Pb and Cd) exposure and rice cooking methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Heavy metal exposure through rice consumption ( L.) is a human health concern. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the association between toxic metals exposure and rice cooking methods.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the impacts of glyphosate on the reproductive hormones.

Worldwide use of glyphosate is constantly increasing and its residues are detected in drinking water, agriculture, and food products. There are controversial data regarding the potential reproductive adverse effects of glyphosate herbicide. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the studies in which the alteration of at least one sexual hormone including testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and estradiol was reported as a measured outcome in rats.

A simple and accurate PCR method for detection of genetically modified rice.

Background: Legislation regulating for labeling and use of genetically modified (GM) crops are increased considerably worldwide in order to health and safety assurance of consumers. For this purpose, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method has been developed for detection of GM rice in people's food diet.

Methods: In this study, eighty-one non-labeled rice samples were collected randomly from different market sites of Tehran, Iran.

Kinetics Analysis and Susceptibility Coefficient of the Pathogenic Bacteria by Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles.

The increase of bacterial resistance to common antibacterial agents is one of the major problems of health care systems and hospital infection control programs. In this study, antimicrobial activity of titanium dioxide (TiO ) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) was investigated against , , and pathogenic bacteria by determining sensitivity coefficient and kinetics of bacterial death. Antimicrobial tests were performed with ~10 CFU/mL of each bacterium at baseline.

Data on microbiological quality of raw cow milk in East Azerbaijan province, Iran.

Microbial contamination of milk can lead to undesirable effects on texture, color, odor, or flavor that result in shorter shelf life. It may also cause serious illnesses in consumers if it contains over than standard limit of these parameters. In this data, we evaluate the total bacterial count (TBC) and somatic cell count (SCC) of raw milk in East Azerbaijan province using BactoScan and Fossomatic equipment, respectively.
