The impact of the source of n-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular disease has not been fully investigated. This study was carried out to investigate cardiovascular benefits of diets with a low ratio (2:1) of n-6:n-3 fatty acids from different sources, either fish or flaxseed oil, in C57BL/6 mice. Twenty-one mice were divided into 3 groups (n=7) and fed an atherogenic diet supplemented with either a fish or flaxseed oil-based ‘designer oil’ with low n-6:n-3 fatty acid ratio (treated groups) or safflower oil-based formulation with a high ratio (control group) for 16 weeks. Plasma cholesterol levels declined significantly in both treated groups, by greater than 30%, compared to those in control. The ratio of n-6:n-3 fatty acids in liver was significantly lower in fish and flax groups as compared to control. Our data suggest that lowering dietary ratio of n-6:n-3 fatty acids may significantly reduce cardiovascular risks regardless of the source of n-3 fatty acids. / October 2008

Note:

The purpose of this report was to investigate whether operators, in the municipality of Örnsköldsvik, comply to current regulations and guidelines regarding oil separator. In addition to this, the report also identify which standards the regulatory authority can demand of identified deficiencies, as well as an examination in how the status of oil separator are in other municipalities in Sweden. First a delimitation was made to only investigate environmentally hazardous activities such as haulage contractors. Inventories were made of a total of 12 haulage contractors, with questions from a previously made checklist. The results of the inventory indicated deficiencies in operators existing knowledge, regular self-inspection of oil separators, control frequency, record-keeping and documentation, lack of 5-year inspection and lack of oil- and sludge level alarm. This report also shows that regulatory authority can require the operators to rectify these deficiencies, in accordance with standards and established guidelines. The report also showed similar results when compared with similar surveys of operators' self-inspection of oil separator, in other municipalities in Sweden. The study suggests that regulatory authority should priority to oversight these environmentally hazardous activities with oil separators.

This report is a work of original reporting which investigates the proliferation of drug use and drug trafficking in the Eagle Ford Shale, a region of heavy oil and gas development in South Texas. Since 2008, the Eagle Ford Shale has seen an influx of people, money, and new infrastructure. This has created a "perfect storm" for drug traffickers. The region is historically poor and sparsely populated, and local law enforcement agencies find themselves unprepared to handle the growing drug problem in their communities. / text
