Influence of diets enriched with flaxseed oil on the ?-linolenic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic fatty acid in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Incorporation of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and α-linolenic acid (LNA) in pacu fillets

“…Accordingly, the incorporation of linseed oil in fish diet has improved their profile of n-3 fatty acids (Justi et al, 2003;Visentainer et al, 2005).…”

Incorporation of conjugated linoleic and alpha linolenic fatty acids into Pimedolus maculatus fillets

“…In seeking to achieve these health benefits, many researchers have developed diets specially designed for the production of fish meat with a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which can lead to beneficial omega-3/omega-6 ratios, known to prevent a series of human diseases such as coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, postpartum depression, cancers, and diabetes, and have anti-inflammatory action (GULER et al, 2008;JUSTI et al, 2003;MARTINO et al, 2002;NAVARRO et al, 2012;SCHIEPERS et al, 2010;VISENTAINER et al, 2005;ŻMIJEWSKI et al, 2006;ZURAINI et al, 2006). The difference between these diets is the use of lipid sources high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as flaxseed oil (MARTINO et al, 2002).…”

Incorporation and profile of fatty acids in tilapia fillets (Oreochromis niloticus) fed with tung oil

“…Due to its reproductive biology, ruggedness, genetic plasticity, fast growth, feed intake and favorable commercialization, Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) was developed and introduced in Brazil in 2005(FÜLBER et al, 2009). …”

“…Easiness in breeding tilapia, together with the fact that its fillet fatty acid (FA) profile is influenced by its diet (VISENTAINER et al, 2005), raises great interest in evaluating the incorporation of fatty acids beneficial to health into its muscle tissues.…”

“…Although the interest of researchers in evaluating the incorporation of different fatty acids into tilapia muscle tissues has resulted in some scientific studies (VISENTAINER et al, 2005;SOUZA et al, 2007;JUSTI et al, 2003;OMENA et al, 2010), the dietary supplementation of these fish with the geometric and positional isomers of octadecatrienoic acid (18:3n-3), also known as conjugated linolenic acid (CLnA) (YANG et al, 2009), has never been evaluated. Some of its isomers have proven biological activity (SEÇKIN et al, 2005;SUZUKI et al, 2001;YASUI et al, 2005).…”
