The Effect of Antioxidants on Flaxseed Stability in Yeast Bread
The antioxidants BHA, BHT, and ascorbic acid were added to flaxmeal breads to prevent rancidity. Six types of yeast leavened breads were evaluated: control (100% bread flour), flaxmeal (15%) bread, and flaxmeal (15%) bread that contained 0.01% respectively of BHA, BHT, BHA and BHT, and ascorbic …

AN INVESTIGATION OF POTENTIAL MECHANISMS UNDERLYING CHEMOSUPPRESSIVE EFFECTS OF DIETARY FLAXSEED IN THE LAYING HEN MODEL OF OVARIAN CANCER
… as a causal factor in the development of cancer. Flaxseed, a rich plant source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids and lignans which act as phytoestrogens and antioxidants, exhibits chemosuppressive effects against the development and progression of ovarian cancer. We have shown that a diet …

Effects of Supplemental Fat on Beef Cow and Heifer Performance, Lactation and Reproduction
… (Exp. 2). Feeding supplemental fat (soybeans, flaxseed, and animal fat) did not affect (P ≥ 0.05) cow BW or BCS. There were also no differences (P ≥ 0.05) among the fat sources. But, in heifers, fat supplementation increased (P < 0.05) ADG, with the flaxseed resulting in higher (P ≤ …
