Broiler meat is an essential source of food due to its favourable effects on human health derived from its protein, fats, minerals, vitamins and its bioactive components.
A total of 90 carcasses were collected from the retail market in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia during April, May and June 2014 to determine the effects of meat type (frozen vs. fresh) and sources within fresh types (A, B, C) vs. frozen types (D, E and F) on their fatty acid profiles, cholesterol, their hypocholesterolemic, atherogenic and thrombogenic indices, and on their antioxidants' status.
The sources of meat had a significant effect on the hypocholesterolemic and atherogenic indices, with the D source of fresh meat having the best indices. Total saturated fatty acids (SFA), unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), the UFA/SAF ratio, and the monounsaturated (MUFA), Omega-6 and Omega-7 fatty acids were significantly affected by the source of meat. The results revealed that the D source of fresh meat showed favourable fatty acid profiles with significant health benefits for human. Correlation analyses showed a significant negative relationship between the SFA and hypocholesterolemic indices, and significant positive relationships with the atherogenic index, the thrombotgenic index and the total antioxidant capacity. In addition, the relationship between UFA and the hypocholesterolemic index was strongly significantly positive, but was highly negative between the atherogenic and thrombotic indices. The correlations between omega-6 and total cholesterol and the atherogenic index was moderately negative, but was moderately positive with the hypocholesterolemic index.
Fatty acids profiles and the hypocholesterolemic and atherogenic indices of broiler meat in the retail market in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia during April-May-June showed significant differences, with the potential for favourable fatty acids to be boosted. Such variability indicates the needs for a feeding strategy to enhance the favourable fatty acids that may positively impact the health of the consumer, lowering the risk of hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, and thrombogenesis although further studies are needed.
鸡肉因其富含蛋白质、脂肪、矿物质、维生素及其生物活性成分，对人体健康有益，是重要的食物来源。
2014年4月、5月和6月期间，从沙特阿拉伯吉达市的零售市场收集了90具鸡 carcasses，以确定肉的类型（冷冻肉与鲜肉）以及鲜肉类型（A、B、C）与冷冻肉类型（D、E和F）的来源对其脂肪酸谱、胆固醇、降胆固醇指数、动脉粥样硬化指数和血栓形成指数以及抗氧化剂状态的影响。
肉的来源对降胆固醇指数和动脉粥样硬化指数有显著影响，其中鲜肉的D来源指数最佳。总饱和脂肪酸（SFA）、不饱和脂肪酸（UFA）、UFA/SFA比值以及单不饱和脂肪酸（MUFA）、欧米伽-6和欧米伽-7脂肪酸受肉的来源显著影响。结果表明，鲜肉的D来源显示出有利的脂肪酸谱，对人体健康有显著益处。相关性分析显示，SFA与降胆固醇指数之间存在显著负相关，与动脉粥样硬化指数、血栓形成指数和总抗氧化能力之间存在显著正相关。此外，UFA与降胆固醇指数之间的关系强烈显著正相关，但与动脉粥样硬化和血栓形成指数之间高度负相关。欧米伽-6与总胆固醇和动脉粥样硬化指数之间的相关性呈中度负相关，但与降胆固醇指数呈中度正相关。
沙特阿拉伯吉达市零售市场4月至6月期间鸡肉的脂肪酸谱、降胆固醇指数和动脉粥样硬化指数存在显著差异，有可能提高有利脂肪酸的含量。这种变异性表明需要一种喂养策略来增加有利脂肪酸，这可能对消费者的健康产生积极影响，降低高胆固醇血症、动脉粥样硬化和血栓形成的风险，尽管还需要进一步研究。
