The aim of the study is to examine whether lean fish, fatty fish, and camelina sativa oil (CSO) a plant‐based source of alpha‐linolenic acid (ALA), differ in their metabolic effects in subjects with impaired glucose metabolism. Altogether 79 volunteers with impaired fasting glucose, BMI 25–36 kg m–2, age 43–72 years, participated in a 12‐week randomized controlled trial with four parallel ...
Summary: There is considerable interest in the de novo production of omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), not least of all given the importance of these fatty acids in both aquaculture and human nutrition. Previously we have demonstrated the feasibility of using metabolic engineering in transgenic plants (Camelina sativa) to modify ...
Summary: Camelina sativa seed is an underutilized oil source rich in omega-3 fatty acids; however, camelina oil is not fully explored for food applications. Its high omega-3 content makes it susceptible to oxidation, which may limit food applications. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to investigate the potential of camelina seed oil to form physically and oxidatively stable ...
Summary: The aim of the study was to examine whether lean fish, fatty fish and camelina sativa oil (CSO) differ in their metabolic effects in subjects with impaired glucose metabolism. Altogether 79 volunteers with impaired fasting glucose, BMI 25–36 kg/m2, age 43–72 years, participated in a 12-week randomized controlled trial with four parallel groups. The study concluded that a diet ...
Summary: Oil samples obtained from the seed of Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz were analysed for the content of fatty acids and tocopherols. The analyses reconfirmed the known specific profile of fatty acids in camelina oil. Both the analyses for fatty acids and for tocopherols disclosed considerable qualitative differences between the oil samples. The variation was ascribed to the combined effects ...
