In Westernized societies, average consumption of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)
far exceeds nutritional requirements. The ratio of n-6 to n-3 PUFAs is generally> 10: 1 …

The pathway for oxidation of energy involves a balanced oxidation of C2 and C3
compounds. During early lactation in dairy cattle this C2/C3 ratio is out of balance, due to a …

In this study concentration and composition of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) in follicular
fluid (FF) of high-yielding dairy cows were determined during the period of negative energy …

Fat supplementation in the diet influences reproductive performance of lactating ruminants.
Changes in the fat supply alter fatty acid composition and this can affect physical properties …

Metabolic problems related to negative energy balance suggest a role for the balance in
supply of lipogenic and glucogenic nutrients. To test the effect of lipogenic and glucogenic …

Fatty acids are not only widely known as energy sources, but also play important roles in
many metabolic pathways. The significance of fatty acids in modulating the reproductive …

Metabolic disorders are often linked to alterations in insulin signaling. Omega-3 (n-3) fatty
acids modulate immunometabolic responses; thus, we examined the effects of peripartum n …

Reproductively normal crossbred beef heifers were individually offered a diet of barley straw
and concentrate supplemented with one of four levels of a fish oil (FO) enriched supplement …

The objectives were to determine the incorporation of dietary encapsulated fats differing in n-
6: n-3 ratio into milk fat, plasma, and various ovarian compartments and to examine the …

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of feeding an increased amount of
extruded flaxseed with high proportions of n-3 fatty acids (FA) to transition dairy cows on …
